Kasia Kaldowski | All Saints Ball Project

The All Saints Ball project was inspired by Hozier’s song Take Me to Church, which touches on homophobia and social prejudice. In my paintings, I expanded this theme to symbolically show ordinary people who may be judged or persecuted by religious institutions or populist views. I believe that all will find their place in heaven — regardless of their background, faith, or how they are perceived on earth. These portraits are not meant to provoke, but to reflect human dignity and the innocence of those unfairly judged.
