When Christ hung from the cross dying, witnesses claimed he had two final statements. His last was simply, "It is done". Before that, with a gash in his side, and vinegar on his lips, he implored, "My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Those are the 7 words. In this work she looks at us, wearing his pose.
