Eternal Belief, Damien Hirst & Lalique, 2017

Through the 'Eternal' collection, the British artist Damien Hirst presents a series of motifs that can be read as emblematic of the cycle of life, rendered eternal in Lalique crystal.

In Eternal Belief, the cross, the centre of which is polished, reveals a collection of coloured drugs and capsules, recalling the Medicine Cabinets that Hirst has created throughout his career.

The artist has previously explained his interest in pharmaceuticals as deriving from seeing his mother in a pharmacy, and her unwavering trust in medicine being like that of religious faith.
