Artist’s Intent NoteNote
War; Conflicts of Faith, refers to the timeless use of religion to divide and conquer people. In this print a Catholic angel is seen rushing away with eyes covered against the horrors of war. Tilted and falling stones cover the bones of many generations of Jews, and memories of the Golum, a figure made of clay from Central European mythology who ran rampant through the streets of Prague uprooting trees and creating havoc as in war. The clock from Wenceslas Square refers to the many times that these things have occurred, around and around the circle of time.
