Rod’s interpretation of ‘Take and Eat’ highlights the contrast between communal sharing and self-indulgence. While Jesus’ message encourages connection and generosity, gluttony represents a disconnection from others which leads to emptiness and moral decline. The call to “Accipite et Manducate” serves as a reminder to slow down, appreciate life’s gifts, and foster deeper connections rather than seek personal gratification. This shift can be transformative, allowing individuals to nurture both their spiritual and physical well-being.


ROD - "OBSESSION"

The artist reflects on the theme of obsession, particularly his fascination with tattooed and pierced women, which he encountered through a meeting website. This personal fixation connects to the broader concept of bodily consumption, symbolized through the central motif of a human heart in his work. The piece invites collectors to fully immerse themselves in his world, incorporating elements such as tattoos, roses, and burning velvet, all of which evoke a sense of intensity and allure.
