The 'Sanctity of smoke' cigarette case
Three crosses. Three traditions. One surface.
The left bears a trefoil-ended crucifix — Gothic in its geometry, architectural in its precision. The centre erupts in full Baroque splendour, its INRI crucifix ornate and theatrical, the kind that belongs above an altar in a cathedral that takes an hour to walk around. The right carries a Celtic cross, its openwork lattice filled with interlacing patterns older than Rome, inscribed with the full declaration: Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum.
Three interpretations of the same moment, pressed together on polished silver. A piece for those who understand that devotion takes many forms, and all of them are valid.
