Blurring the sacred with the synthetic, the work becomes a symbol of a generation whose spiritual frameworks are now mediated by technology. A minimalist installation featuring a suspended baby Jesus adorned with a glowing VR headset, exploring themes of faith, simulation, and technological transcendence. The work interrogates the intersection of spirituality and digital illusion, casting light on the ways belief systems evolve in an era mediated by screens and artificial experiences. By merging religious iconography with virtual immersion, the piece questions whether digital realities will become the new sacred spaces of the future.
