This artwork explores society's idolisation of consumer brands over traditional religion, especially in the West, where faith plays a diminishing role.

The Virgin Mary, traditionally a symbol of devotion, is altered to embody a modern Holy Trinity. Fast-food, fashion, and tech. She holds a Starbucks cup, wears Nike sneakers, and carries an Apple iPod—symbols that many revere more than spiritual icons.

The Starbucks cup represents instant gratification and commodified rituals. Nike reflects the shift from spiritual fulfilment to material status. The iPod raises the question of whether we seek community and answers from technology rather than faith.

As religious devotion fades, are these the new gods we worship? Do consumer brands provide comfort, identity, and purpose, or are they hollow substitutes?
