A Critical Pietà

At first sight she seems to be bestowing food to the destitute; yet they are left with mere crumbs and in the epiphany of the one from the other lies the core of the discussion of the Canonization of Mother Teresa.

A critical pietà! Vasco Gargalo has not only achieved to fuse the ideality of her life's work with the reality of it; she is rendered in stark angles, perfecting the faithful sunken in prayer.
