Experience the Power of Faith

After ten years of work on this installation, I carved 67 sculptures inside 14 wooden boxes and finally completed The Stations of the Cross. The miniature sculptures were made of Magic-Sculpt, painted with acrylic paint, and the clothes were fashioned from pieces of my own clothes. I even used my hair and the hair of a choir lady from St. Kilian church to compose the pieces.

In 2012, I made a direct promise to Jesus Christ. I asked Him to find a solution to a family problem that had been unresolved for years. I promised that if the problem was resolved, I would carve the Stations of the Cross. To my surprise, within 24 hours of making this promise, Jesus Christ answered me. He not only solved the problem that had troubled my family for years but also blessed us with His power and opened new paths for us.
