@sinatra.zantout: Title: HALLELUJAH This piece honours the women of the Celestial Church, anchored in spiritual discipline, modesty, and quiet power. Through Masqueradism, I explore what lies beneath surface identity. The masks do not conceal, they reveal. Inviting reflection on what is seen, and what is sacred. The celestial blues and soft whites echo stillness, divinity, and the rhythm of worship. Each hue carries meaning. Every layer holds a memory, a presence, a prayer. Hallelujah is the bridge between spirituality, faith, and cultural identity. Inspired by a photo taken by @adisaolashile #painting #art #create #contemporaryart #modernart #portrait #fyp

You are clearly very talented, and your celebration of African women and cultural is appreciated. However, the use of a red masquerade mask conflicts with the doctrine of the Celestial Church ,where the colour red is strictly forbidden. For members, this is a serious spiritual matter, not just a symbolic one. Artistic freedom is important, but its vital to research and respect religious & cultural sensitivities.

I'm certain you are a brilliant artist and have your inspirations. From a consumer's perspective and as you have seen from the comments, this does not really sit well. The Celestial Church already faces a lot of accusations of being fetish and this seems to imply that.

The image is like attaching a religion and a culture together,the masks symbolize a traditional culture and it doesn’t suit the church garment,we do not understand why you would mix both together…maybe you have more genuine reasons sha.

Is definitely gonna be liked by people who doesn’t like the church and think we have something to do with darkness or have hidden spirits …. Cause is giving so many meaning which is not nice and a disrespect to Sutana!
