EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Stigmata" delves into the enigmatic concept of a person suffering from this extraordinary affliction. The artwork, created using computer technology, depicts an individual bearing the wounds reminiscent of Christ's crucifixion - a phenomenon known as stigmata. Christians believe that these injuries spontaneously manifest in devout individuals, symbolically mirroring Jesus' suffering. Throughout history, several renowned cases of stigmatists have been exposed as fraudulent. However, amidst skepticism and controversy surrounding this condition, unexplained occurrences persist. While some argue that these instances may be psychosomatic in nature – originating from the mind rather than supernatural forces – Christians maintain their fervent belief in its divine origin. In this visually striking illustration, we witness a hand with bleeding wrists adorned with thorns and barbed wire. The intricate iconography serves to emphasize the profound impact of stigmatism on both religious and medical realms. This thought-provoking image prompts contemplation about the intersection between faith and science. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable piece without any commercial intentions but instead seeks to explore the complex interplay between religion and medicine through artistic expression. As viewers engage with "Stigmata" they are invited to ponder the mysteries surrounding this perplexing disorder while acknowledging its historical significance within Christian tradition.
