The works resemble icons depicting saints to be worshipped. In our time, too, there are people who imagine themselves to be the very thunderbolts, the arbiters of fate. And in the same way, crowds go to bow to them to kiss the heel and see the newborn deity with their own eyes. Only from HIS mouth the truth is heard, only HE knows who is a friend and who is an enemy, and HE will not quench his thirst for blood in the holy war against the infidels. A person who imagines himself to be god loses touch with this world and his soul, the soul of a person that we are called to protect, perishes, and his lifeless body is transformed into stone. Now it's nothing–just a dead piece of rock. There's no way to save him. He is an idol like an ancient pagan deity, a stone Perun. Idols need to be brought down.

On the third sheet, we no longer see a man, but a god, an idol, which the one from whom there is now no trace left so aspired to become. Here he is in all his glory: come and worship him. Was it worth changing your soul for a piece of dead stone?
