Cross Tapestries
Description: The Celtic Cross is one of the most popular and enduring symbols of Celtic identity and culture. In the Dark Ages, as the Celtic populations of Britain and Ireland were converted to Christianity, they brought some of their older, pre-Christian style to the symbols of Christianity. What was born was the Celtic Cross. A unique blend of the Old Celtic religion and the new Christian religion.

Description: This artwork represent my view on religion. The center seems to be a perfect cross and its body seemingly white (pure & innocent). But despite the center cross is perfect, it is hollow meaning that it is just a concept which is based on nothing and emptiness. The white body is illogical and its solidness is based on perception and the red lines represent the history of religion lined with blood and fire.
Description: Russian Orthodox cross or Orthodox cross is a variation of the Christian cross since the 6th century in the Byzantine Empire. The cross has three horizontal crossbeams, with the lowest one slanted. Nowadays it is a symbol of the Russian Orthodox Church and a distinctive feature of the cultural landscape of Russia. Other names for the symbol include the Byzantine cross, Russian cross, and Slavonic or Suppedaneum cross.
Description: The Satanic Cross was originally the symbol for the brimstone which we today know as sulfur. The association of sulfur with Satanism is rather dated, and has its origins in its use as the symbol for sulfur by European alchemists. It has two overlapping triangles, one meaning fire, and the other water. This is interesting because word Leviathan is sometimes used as a synonym for a big sea monster. So sulfur represents fire and Leviathan a sea (water) creature, so it’s appropriate to put the triangles. I decided to add some octopus tentacles into the design, because – sea monster, that’s why!
