Welcome to Episode 2 of my podcast, When in Rome, Touch the Art! In this episode, I introduce one of my best-known sculptures, Homeless Jesus.
I share why I placed it without a pedestal, directly on the streets of Trastevere — a space where people can sit close, interact, and encounter the sacred within the marginalized.
I also dive into my philosophy of Catholic art as a way of pulling the eternal truths of Scripture into physical form, why religious sculpture must be raw and intense to reach a spiritually starving world, and why I left the face of Jesus covered — an element of theatrical mystery and discovery that mirrors the very moment of ambiguity and reveal in Matthew 25.
Finally, I trace how a piece that first had no home became a viral, global phenomenon: blessed by Pope Francis and installed in major historical locations around the world.
When in Rome, Touch the Art is a production by La Machi Communication for Good Causes
