This is an iconoclastic image. It is titled "Purging Pope" was made by Zane Lewis in 2007. It is iconoclastic because it takes a religious figure, the Pope, and destroys his image by making it appear as though he is vomiting. While the Pope is considered to be a religious icon, the idea of depicting him throwing up is an iconoclastic move made by the artist.
