I Like to Think of Hell as Empty; I Hope It Is

Oil on canvas, 8 × 10 in, 2025

Based on a still from One Year Later, a film by Carter Haskins (2025). Conceptualized from a quote by Pope Francis, “What I am going to say is not a dogma of faith but my own personal view: I like to think of hell as empty; I hope it is.”
