This is work is also known as Calma, it’s a unique image of Jesus Christ. He is presented as beef with different types of meat drawn on it. It shows how his name has been used to by those in power, going against the pure message of the gospel, which was out of love and eternal salvation.
Doitschinoff questions the institutionalization of religion and the abuse that comes out of it. The original intention of salvation are altered by those in power to control society. The red tassel below the eyes are tears of blood that Jesus is crying due to the damage of using his name for power throughout history.
