“St. Mona” transforms da Vinci’s iconic figure into a saintly, urban icon. By layering graffiti textures, neon colors, and a gold halo, I merge sacred tradition with the energy of contemporary street art. The piece asks: what does it mean to worship an image? Mona becomes both timeless and rebellious—an object of cultural devotion redefined in a chaotic, colorful world. She carries the weight of history, yet her presence feels renewed and alive. “St. Mona” is my exploration of reverence, disruption, and the evolving role of icons in a society that constantly reimagines what it holds sacred.
