I went to an art show the smallish 5 by 7 inch pictures were "cute" and decorative images of girls and animals. But then I noticed a bit of a Gnostic twist the cute girls are holding torches apparently intending to burn down heaven. Of course I sought to speak with the artist. We spoke briefly she said the images are based on a Sufi parable about a woman with a torch and a bucket, the torch to burn down heaven the bucket to quench the fires of hell. So that mankind can learn to love God without greed or fear. I was in love . . . with the images. Although I do have a dinner with the artist so we will see how that works out.
here some of the images for more here is her "Esty"
