EXPIATORIUM

This is a full-page illustration I did for LENGUA Magazine.
It was about the not-so-funny origin of the term "scapegoat" or as it is used in the spanish language "Chivo Expiatorio".

Here I'm going to share what I wrote when I posted this image on a popular art forum because I thought it could offend someone:

I do not mean to disrespect anyone's religious beliefs or choices.
This image came about as we were at the office discussing the legal and ethical entanglements suffered by an italian family who had a comatose loved one hooked to a machine for 17 years without having the option of giving her that deserved right to rest in peace. [link]
And then I thought how much would you support a "cause" were you the victim of it? This image does not represent my wishes to the Vatican authorities. In fact it wasn't even meant to be shared at all... but it is an invitation to think.

Turns out this is one of my most-viewed pics over there.
