"Let the Stones Cry Out", acrylic on canvas, Bishop Maxim, 2025

In this expressive, modern icon of protest, a crowd rises beneath a radiant sky, hands lifted, eyes aflame with truth. On the right, faceless riot police advance, overpowering a fallen youth—haloed, innocent, and crushed. He lies as a martyr of justice, while the city watches, and heaven weeps golden light. Between the fists of resistance and the shields of repression, a sacred tension pulses: mercy meets truth, righteousness kisses peace.
