"Arouse: A Journey through Art and Faith" In this captivating collection of illustrations, we are transported across time and space to witness the power of arousal in various forms. From the solemn depiction of Jesus on the cross with two others, we feel a stirring within our souls as we contemplate sacrifice and redemption. The ancient Greek play "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes comes alive through black and white lithographs that arouse both curiosity and intrigue. In one illustration, Lampito's toilet becomes a symbol of rebellion against societal norms, awakening a desire for change within us all. As we delve deeper into the world of Lysistrata, two Athenian women in distress capture our attention. Their expressions evoke empathy and compassion, arousing a sense of solidarity with those who face adversity. But it is Lysistrata herself who truly ignites our imagination. Shielding her coynte (a term used in old English literature), she embodies strength and determination amidst chaos. Her unwavering resolve arouses admiration for her audacity to challenge conventions. Moving beyond ancient tales, another image emerges - Plate 714 showcases a dog aroused by a torpedo. This unexpected juxtaposition reminds us that even nature can awaken unexpected emotions within us - fear or fascination at its raw power. Our journey takes an evocative turn as African women come into focus. Their vibrant presence arouses appreciation for diversity and cultural richness; their resilience stirs admiration for their indomitable spirit. Finally, we find ourselves confronted with the crucifixion scene - Jesus hanging on a cross. The stark black-and-white portrayal arouses profound contemplation about sacrifice, forgiveness, and ultimate love displayed on Calvary's hill. Through these diverse images spanning centuries and continents, arousal takes many forms - from intellectual stimulation to emotional connection to spiritual awakening. Each piece invites us to explore the depths of human experience while challenging preconceived notions along the way.
