'Muraire says that he is fascinated by the way in which religious paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries “introduced a new sense of proximity” as “people brought their own lives, fears, hopes, and inner struggles” into the images. He argues that this is also “what makes biblical narratives so powerful”, as “they depict condensed human situations” that “focus on inner turmoil, doubt, compassion, abandonment, and responsibility, experiences that every human being encounters at some point”.'
