Orlando Estrada‘s photography:

“With my work, I am disclosing my invented mythology. I am documenting my exploration of the role of religious belief systems in modern society and questioning the established sacredness of canonized iconography. Superstition, supernature, common phenomenon, mass-production, technology, and pop-culture are made sacrosanct, further pursuing the idea of holiness and the concept of permanence. The narratives unfold as a tongue-in-cheek critique of transient American culture. While duplicitously romanticizing the new human condition, the work evokes a longing for cosmic knowledge and ultimate truth. ”
