E.R. for the Soul includes a playful reimagining of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Renaissance masterpiece The Last Supper, embellished with kitschy gems, beads, and glitter. The De La Torre brothers portray cartoon-eyed disciples and a glowing Jesus at the center of the table. He presents a plate full of miniature bodies, referencing the biblical quote, “Take, eat. This is my body.” Pesos cascade down in rays of light to glass-blown nurses and tie the physical maintenance of the body to spiritual upkeep.
