Jeanne D’Arc (Joan of Arc)

Description

This image depicts the burning away of the human ego as it dissolves through love and faith, into the eternal violet; the colour of divinity. A metamorphous is happening.

Joan of Arc claimed to hear divine voices instructing her courses of action in helping France regain its sovereignty from England, and she was held in high regard by the towns she helped to liberate. She wore white armour and rode a white horse, rejecting the authority of the church in favour of a belief in direct divine communion. Whilst being held captive she apparently dressed in male clothing to deter the prison guards from sexually assaulting her.
