This piece is a commentary on living Idols- charismatic leaders of movements. According to theologian Paul Tillich, Idolatry doesn't stop at religion. It is when we put our force, our actions, our faith behind a symbol of something that is less than the whole. A human idol is fallible. These two live in a state of hypocrisy- acting against the ideals of the systems they purport to believe in and live by.

The frames represent those ideals, the text behind the image, the contradictions.
