The Passion of Christ is a moving story and greatest love story ever told, but Joe Castillo deepens the experience with his performance of creating one illustration after another with sand on a light table. With a swipe of his hands he creates a setting, filling in the details with deft fingers.
The lighting adds to the shadowy light display that reveals spectacularly detailed portraits of a woman praying, Jesus on the cross and more. Completing one picture, he rakes his fingers over the picture and begins to build another detailed, moving picture of the passion story.
