In "Praying for good Shit,” the Virgin Mary’s head is replaced with that of a fly – complete with proboscis, human teeth, and lips. The transformation elevates a common house fly into a pop religious deity. As a fly, the figure is quite literally praying for good ‘shit’. With piercing green eyes, the figure invites us to recognize the divine and find wonder in all things, embracing both the sacred and the profane.
