Liturgy of Loss by Carlos Quinto Kemm contemplates grief through a sacred visual language. A solitary woman sits weeping beside an elephant whose body is composed of crucifixion scenes drawn from art history, transforming the animal into a vessel of suffering, memory, and collective lament. Set against a luminous shoreline, the work becomes an altar to sorrow, sacrifice, and the enduring rituals of mourning.
