The Crucifix
2005
This sculptural work exemplifies Hirst's ongoing fascination with mortality and pharmaceutical culture, embedding hand-colored pewter pills within cedar wood to create a contemporary meditation on faith, death, and healing. The piece bridges his signature pill installations with religious iconography, transforming the traditional crucifix into a complex symbol of modern salvation through medicine.
