Artwork Description: The statue portrays the body of Christ hanging on an unfinished cross, revealing His back. This intentional design symbolizes that true followers stand behind Christ, not in front. Seeing Christ from the back suggests that we are His cross, the journey He took in our place. Following Him transforms Him into a hero, where He is the leader, not merely someone to be followed.
