The juxtaposition of the words “sacred” and “profane” is often used to express the difference between the interests of a unified group, such as a church, as opposed to mundane, individual concerns. I juxtapose the “sacred and profane” within this image by placing the roof of a parked car -- a mundane, individual possession -- before the open door of a church, which holds a mysterious abstracted sculpture of a religious figure. The car is monochromatic, while the doorway to the church is painted in a vivid red color, and framed by ornate lanterns placed within gothic embellishments. The sculpture within is a symbol sacred to the group of people who worship here. The graceful, aerodynamic curve of the car’s roof plays against the formal geometry of the church entrance. Both car and church are made more symbolic by abstraction – a hedge hides most of the car, while the soaring architecture of the church is pared down to only its entrance, and the statue within the doorway is deeply in shadow.
