Death frightens us all – which is why the hope for resurrection remains one of humanity’s most persistent concerns. Caravaggio painted the moment when Jesus – returned from the realm of the dead – dispels the doubt of Thomas by allowing him to touch his mortal wound. Isolated Indeterminate Recursion (after Caravaggio) isolates this instant from the overall composition, stripping the two figures of their identities and leaving only hands, torso, and fragments of cloth – repeated, distorted, and overlapping.
It is a painting of a digital recomposition of a photograph of a painting – an interplay of mechanics and humanity that reinterprets a moment of 17th-century clarity in order to mirror the secular uncertainties of the present.
