This crucifix wants to capture the central concept of Christian faith- the paschal mystery which entails the passion, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The work depicts an in-between moment when Christ is dying and rising at the same time.  This moment is displayed visually in the composition and texture of the corpus.  Outstretched arm of Christ shows more a sign of blessing than pinning; drooping head provides a downward gaze; his textual body suggests that it is in a process of remaking; and especially his pose seems like he is flying.
