inspired by christian iconography this image brings mylene cruz, the main character of the netflix series the get down, in the place of a saint

​

the character is the daughter of a pastor and dreams of being a disco star, she defies her father and church and goes after her dreams

​

putting mylene, a black women, in the place of a saint is strong, and adorning her with catholic imagery seems to further defy her father which is christian but of another church
