Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Saint Teresa's 'transverberation' — the heart pierced by divine love — becomes literal cosmic violence here. Costa weaponizes Catholic iconography against itself.
The mausoleum setting references Teresa's burial and exhumation; her body was found incorrupt, her heart preserved with the wound visible.
