1. People
1.1. Homeless Jesus By Timothy Schmalz - Challenges the beliefs of the church and makes the spectator change their opinions on Jesus making it hard to relate to him. The sculpture questions assumptions about Jesus and his personality and traits, this gives the impression that Jesus goes through the same struggles and is essentially just like everyone else.
