Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
This passage from the Book of Judges
is the inspiration for my latest sculpture
The Temple of Dagon
For this piece I returned to my favorite genre,
Brutalism.
