It is difficult to imagine, that in our society, a person could live without committing any one of the seven deadly sins. In a culture where media saturation and instant gratification are the norm, it is next to impossible to live a virtuous life and would lead one to believe that the sins are irrelevant. Yet, there is frequent opposition between cultural emphases on over indulgence versus puritanical ideologies from the conservative right. This opposition led to a re-examination of the seven deadly sins, not as vices to avoid, but as devices used to initiate reflection upon one's life. The images presented here are the digital collages created as part of the original project, which culminated in an interactive, carnival-esqe game.
