The intersection of faith, morality, and cultural violence through the lens of a weathered church sign – a symbol traditionally associated with community guidance and spiritual reflection, leaves a stark, urgent question that challenges the normalisation of gun culture and its devastating consequences.

Values once upheld by such institutions have been corroded by complacency, political paralysis and a sense of abandonment and moral erosion.

Instead of offering comfort or scripture, it delivers a provocative indictment of societal priorities.

This work is not merely a critique of policy but a call to conscience, to confront the dissonance between professed values – love, protection, sanctity of life – and the reality of systemic violence. In doing so, it questions what we truly worship.
