Divine Ammunitions: Powerful Sculptures by Al Farrow

Al Farrow is an artist who transforms weapons and tools of destruction into powerful, thought-provoking pieces. Using guns, bullets, explosives and bone, he crafts intricate religious structures, from cathedrals, mosques and synagogues to menorahs and reliquaries. His hauntingly beautiful creations drive conversations about humanity’s complex relationship with war, faith and politics.

Farrow masterfully combines symbols of peace and violence in a really visceral way. The materials he works with—shell casings, deconstructed guns, and even cluster bombs—are typically associated with conflict. But in his hands, they’re transformed into symbols of devotion and spirituality. Through these sculptures, he raises questions about the ways war is often justified or intertwined with religious ideologies.
