In The God We Carry, PALACE OF THE STRANGE transforms the human spine into a symbolic procession of gods, with each vertebral section taking the form of a distinct divine face. Drawing from religious iconography, ritual masks, and Southeast Asian folklore, the work presents the spine as both a physical structure and a metaphorical vessel for belief. The repetition of eyes, faces, and ornamental forms creates a sense of accumulated spiritual presence, suggesting that the gods, myths, and beliefs we inherit become part of our own structure. Through its vivid colour and symmetrical composition, the work explores the relationship between the body, faith, identity, and the unseen forces we carry within us.
