In Grey Moses, Andres Serrano photographed  
a small plastic copy of Michelangelo’s Moses  
submerged in milk and water.  The statuette,  
which is only a few inches tall, takes on monu-  
mental dimensions.  Milk signifies purity and  
maternity, and it recalls Moses’ promise to lead  
the Israelites out of Egypt into the land of milk  
and honey.
