"An image of Rubens’s Assumption of the Virgin Mary, as it hangs and as I have seen it for a long time hanging in my former parish church, St. Augustine in Antwerp. I added a dimension that refers to a book in which Leviathan, a type of sea monster from the Hebrew Bible and in fact a terrifying depiction of Satan, is used to describe an emerging economic system in 1651."
