The Mensaje series is related to Goeritz’s intention of making visible a spiritual experience without using Christian iconography. Goeritz's use of gold should also be correlated with the religious iconography of Byzantine and pre-Renaissance Western Christian imagery in which gold symbolizes divine transcendence.

The Mensaje series are sought after for their non-objective and modern solutions and the uniqueness of their materials.
