On a clear piece of polystyrene, the words “What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose.” are hand painted, spaced over the middle of the piece in a thick black ink. Layered over top of the text are the smashed bits and pieces of a black VHS tape. Most of the outer casing of the VHS tape sits to the center-left of the piece. The top cover of the VHS tape’s casing lies just above the main part of the tape’s casing. Printed on a sticker in the middle of the tape casing, we see the words “King of Kings” which was the title of the movie and “MGM Studios” indicating the movie’s original production company. The inner black spool of tape of the VHS droops down the middle of the piece and connects to a white spool that sits to the center-right of the piece. Broken and ripped bits of black plastic and tape from the smashed VHS are also sprinkled around the piece.
