This French artist creates mashup sculptures of the Virgin Mary, iconic imagery and familiar franchise symbols. Hello Kitty, Mario Bros, stuffed animals and the like are transformed into these modern deities.

"I grew up in a Christian Western society. My perspective on life has been a result of my environment and background. The playful interaction of society’s many icons, physical transformations, and the resulting improbable combinations, have culminated in my vision of a woman’s role and place in our society. This inner questioning of a woman’s role, has led me to use one of the most sacred icons in my work, namely, the Virgin Mary. Initially, I begin with damaged statues, either donated or discovered in garage sales, which I then restore and transform. I surely do not mean to chock those who believe but rather to move those who see."
