Part of a series of diptychs. This piece was created out of my relationship between my personal and spiritual lives. At the time, I had been in a long term relationship for two and a half years. The church I grew up in was very strict. Members of the congregation were not encouraged to be in relationships outside of the church, nor were they to engage in premarital sex. When the church elders found out I was in such a relationship, they proceeded to excommunicate me slowly, utilizing fearmongering and shame to force me out.
