My artwork shows how even the purest beings cannot always uphold ideal expectations that have been placed onto them. It depicts an angel that is secretly smoking a cigarette while on a work break. She also has many bandages due to her rigorous work as a servant of God. I chose an angel specifically, because they are generally viewed as holy messengers or guardians, and people would not generally expect them to participate in “impure activities” such as smoking.
