Awake Thou Wintry Earth

I discovered this piece (originally "The Resurrection", a 16th century German molten glass sculpture) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's open source archives. I was searching for historical art pieces I could digitally reinterpret for an album of songs attempting to do a similar thing - using newer musical technologies to reimagine older hymn texts. The tombstone shape of the sculpture on the warm grey wall felt consequential & museum-y, which I thought suited the project well.

Though originally composed of colorful painted glass, I decided to recreate the scene as though it had been cast in gold. In addition, I utilized photoshop's generative artificial intelligence to create a bouquet of easter lilies that sit behind the sculpture - the flowers of which I also manipulated to appear cast in gold.
