About the Exhibition
Reflecting on her lifelong passion for storytelling that started from a childhood fascination with National Geographic profiles, Christina explores the connection between the accounts of early Christian martyrs and the lives of nine resilient women, captured through powerful black-and-white portraiture. Combining meditative, bold poetry with photography, she highlights themes of tragedy, beauty, and wisdom. Christina’s Martyrs in Monochrome: The Witness of Women, Christian Resilience, and Photopoetry explores the hidden resilience within all people, showcasing the strength and vulnerability of their subjects in a way that resonates deeply with modern audiences.
