Inspired by the
Christian tradition of the Crown of
Thorns, and by the logo of the Frontline
record label, renowned for its
challenging, subversive themes.
Christ challenges established convention
on many levels: despite submitting to his
torturers and to death itself, he leaps
from the cross, grasps the Crown of
Thorns with the defiant gesture of a
clenched fist and rises triumphant,
demonstrating humankind's potential to
defeat enemies and obstacles, whether
physical or spiritual.
