Hybrid Modernism. Churches in Kerala by Haubitz-Zoche 

Photographer Stefanie Zoche of Haubitz-Zoche has captured a series of vibrant images showcasing the “hybrid modernism” churches of the Southern Indian region of Kerala. The images below, also available on the artist’s website, depict the blend of modernist influences and local architectural elements that defined many Indian churches following the country’s 1947 independence.

As Zoche explains, the post-independence Indian church establishment sought to differentiate itself from the historic colonial building style, and hence drew inspiration from the modernist icon Le Corbusier. The buildings in Zoche’s gallery often display an “effusively sculptural formal language and a use of intense color” with Christian symbols “directly transposed into a three-dimensional, monumental construction design.”

the angel doesn't say "BE NOT AFRAID" because a cosmic entity as old as time just appeared in your bedroom in vaguely human shape. The angel says BE NOT AFRAID because the next thing they're about to say is "I BRING YOU A MISSION FROM GOD" and oh boy does that really put a wrench in your plans for the rest of the week

It is finished. The veil is torn. A boundless Love has reordered the cosmos, and God is racing out of the holy temples to caress your face, wherever you may be.
