THE SAINTS
"Saints help, rescue, and do so much more. Sometimes they are positive, sometimes their role/story is much more ambiguous. To me they are interesting characters because of the powerful symbolic values they generate. St Georges, St Irene, St Sebastian, St Christophe, St Thomas, and many others appear in my work. " - Hassan Musa

ABOUT THE SAINTS
SAINT CHRISTOPHER
The legend says that St. Christopher wanted to serve « the greatest king there was ». A hermit, who instructed him in the Christian faith, suggested that, because of his size and strength, Christopher could serve Christ by assisting people to cross a dangerous river, where they were perishing in the attempt.
The hermit promised that this service would be pleasing to Christ.
One day St Christopher carried a child, who was unknown to him, across the river, before the child revealed himself as Christ. Therefore, St Christopher is the patron saint of travellers.
Naturally, St. Christopher is the best man to help Africans who perish crossing the Mediterranean sea to Europe.
