Our Artists' Statement

The ‘Seven Deadly Sins’, also known as the Cardinal sins, are a series of seven objectionable vices that have been used in Christianity since early times to shape and educate individuals concerning individual tendencies to sin. Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony serve as the ideas that capture mortals and lead to the destruction of grace. After splitting up the different topics, each person in our group took their own individual spin on there meaning of the word. Whether the image taken was captured on a spur-of-the-moment whim or plotted ahead of time, each artist thought well past the basic connotation of their sin and emphasized they’re own personality and vision of art.

Envy

Photograph by :  Eric X. Bracamonte

This photo was taken as a representation of the sin Envy.  Envy is unique compared to
the other sins in the sense that it has a color commonly associated with it; Green.  With that in
mind I wanted to create a photograph that represents someone feeling envious towards someone
or something (desire for the possessions or qualities of another), by using the eye as the direct link
to that feeling.  It worked out well since the common theme for these photos is black and white.  It
really helped to show the central theme of this particular photo, because it accentuates the color
of the eye.
