RAISE YOURSELF!

48K, 450 x 680, 1998, mixed media sculpture, 17" tall, by Chris Wayan.


I joined a gym. One day I saw a girl pulling herself up on that chinup machine that boosts you a bit... but unlike most people who use it, she faced outwards.

apparently crucified girl raising herself up off the cross. Click to enlarge.
She looked wildly sexual, arching her back and thrusting her breasts out as she struggled to rise with all her strength... AND she looked... well... crucified.

Crucified by self-improvement.

Girl on a cross that says RAISE YOURSELF--left view.
I don't know if that's bad exactly.

I do it too.

It's better than waiting to BE raised by some daddy in the sky, as in Judeo-Christian-Islam.

Quit praying--and raise your own damn self.
