Notes
Artist statement: "I love the governments logos that make up our world, and I thought about a hero in the BOM who defends the government, leading to the me choosing Captain Moroni as my subject. But I also love classical figure work, inspiring the work. I wanted to capture the weight of Captain Moroni and his morals within his stance. But I didn't want to just make it simple, I also wanted to make it beautiful. I was inspired by stain glassed artworks of catholic churches, leading to the graphic design."
