This piece is a contraction of the tetragrammaton YHVH (non-pronounceable for Jews and pronounceable/translated for Christians as Yahweh) and a part of the allographs of Marcel Duchamp L.H.O.O.Q. (1919). The eight letters are written in the form of bones. The Mona Lisa that appears in the work of Marcel Duchamp, is replaced here by an inscription of the word God.
