Tomb of Pope Alexander VII Study I
2016
This hand-embellished pigment print reinterprets Bernini's baroque monument through Wiley's signature lens, replacing the original papal figure with a contemporary Black subject while maintaining the ornate sculptural framework. The work exemplifies the artist's ongoing dialogue between classical European art history and contemporary identity, enhanced through meticulous hand-finishing techniques.
