Wounds of the Victor — Mixed media cyanotype by Papayon

Wounds of the Victor is a cyanotype-based mixed media piece by Papayon, featuring a deconstructed image of Saint Michael the Archangel. With a vivid red slash across the sword, the artwork confronts the paradox of divine victory marked by blood. This image of resilience and defiance merges classical religious iconography with contemporary expression. Printed on paper and touched with mixed media interventions, it embodies themes of spiritual warfare, silent strength, and transcendent justice.
