The Story

The shape of the box is a temple abstraction.  The wings of the attic are used as storage space for ancient gods, who no longer have a following (e.g. Chinese god of long life and Horus the Egyptian god).  The representations in the center of the box depict symbols of present day religions—Buddha, Ganesh, Christ a portion of the Haggadah (left wall) a faceless Mohammed (right wall).  Background figures are Adam and Eve who were made in God’s image.   In the center attic (Heaven) the hand of God is shown pushing a computer board through the birth canal. The computer is the new prophet…. perhaps a future god???
