A lot of artistic expression is cultural.
Some years ago, I knew of a high school girl who was mildly Wiccan, who was hauled before the school principal and berated for wearing “Satanic” symbols, along with a rant that Wicca, along with Hinduism and Buddhism, among others, were “devil” religions and prohibited at that school. Christian symbols were fine, however.
So she arranged with a talented young man friend who was an artist to make a t-shirt design of a horribly graphic and grotesque crucifixion, well before Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ”. The artist was very talented, and the end result was a horrifying.depiction of agony and brutality.
Several students decided to wear the t-shirt, appalling and disturbing as it was, and some of the more sensitive students became ill or distraught after seeing it. However, it was fine and dandy as far as the administration was concerned.
What was not expected was the effect on several of the Hispanic students, who told their parents. After seeing it themselves, the parents contacted the artist in the hope that he could make a greater than life size sculpture crucifix of such a profoundly wonderful artwork, for display in their church.
Of course, the positive aspect is that the deader the dead Christ, the more wonderful the Risen Christ.
I'm not Hispanic, almost 100% British except for one stray German WAY back, but I can see it.
What I can't see is even truly "sensitive" students actually getting ill from a mere depiction, but maybe I'm case-hardened.
