Affliction, Christopher Burlin, 2025, oil, 40 x 30 in. / 101.6 x 76.2 cm.

Inspired by ubi sunt/vanitas motiffs, nostalgia, Catholic architecture and image, and history, reflects how the ghosts from the past continue to burden the present as though their ancient animosities should be the living's priority.
