All of the images in this gallery were shot by international fine art photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten.
The night before he died, Jesus got his friends and followers together and washed their feet as a symbolic example of how they should humble themselves while dignifying and valuing others. He then instructed them to wash one another’s feet. We were intrigued by this idea. To us, foot washing symbolizes the act of removing the ego from the self, setting differences aside, and actively showing love to others.
What if foot washing was part of our modern culture? We reimagined a world where people, especially those with opposing ideologies, took off their shoes and washed each other’s feet. The images create a surreal and magical view of human interaction that we could all aspire to.
