child of god 🕊️🩸
✶
kiriona portrait bc i was going to post for sinulog (the festival of the child jesus in my country) and i've been thinking thoughts of both of them being children of god and symbols of colonialism/imperial expansion for monthssss
inspired by figurines of the child jesus: white, gold, and red embroidered cloaks, garlands of sampaguita (jasmine) flowers sold outside churches to be placed on religious figurines either in church or at home. it's also a superstition around se asia that spirits/ghosts carry the smell of jasmine flowers, which i thought was fitting for our corpse prince ♥
