This is a set of drawing I made after discovering vellum paper, and the translucent properties of it. I made me think of stained glass windows, which got me thinking about how people tend to worship material things these days. These are my interpretation of what new modern saints would be featured in church stained glass windows today if we were to represent what people really place their faith and adoration in.
