Ecce Homo
2003
A polyester shirt bearing an acrylic painted image of Christ is preserved and presented within a pristine Plexiglass case, elevating everyday consumer clothing to the status of sacred relic. Escobar's work provocatively merges the iconography of Catholic devotion with the mass-produced materials of contemporary global culture, reflecting the complex intersections of religion and commerce in Latin American society.
