This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #8896 and artworks of Malevich. SupremePunk #012 captures the ebb and flow of Christianity's history, not tied to a specific region but viewed as a universal journey. Malevich's black square, which is often interpreted as the genesis of all existence or as a symbol of the sun, is employed here to signify the emergence of a new epoch marked by shifting values and the dawn of a new spiritual consciousness. As the metaphorical sun rises to herald the dawn of Christian faith, it also sets during periods of repression and intolerance.

The limestone walls of these magnificent structures, bound with lime mortar, often boasted elongated arches and narrow vertical elements between the pillars that gave the interiors a distinct character. This design trend is well-captured by the "Interior of a Gothic Cathedral" by Bartholomeus van Bassen. However, the history of these landmarks isn't always glorious. Many have faced destruction in times of political turmoil and ideological struggles. It is not uncommon for religious institutions to be demolished under the pretext of progress, often replaced by symbols of the reigning political ideology. This cycle of creation and destruction is powerfully captured by Thomas Cole in his painting "The Course of Empire: Destruction."

SupremePunk #012 uses its white-dominated palette and rugged shapes to convey the turbulent history of religious institutions across the world. It draws inspiration from historical landmarks of faith like the grand cathedrals built during the Middle Ages, reflecting the profound influence of the Byzantine style. These structures, with their iconic pyramidal structure and multiple domes, symbolize a significant era in Christian history. The painting " Italian Coast Scene with Ruined Tower" by Thomas Cole serves as a perfect representation of this Byzantine architectural style that influenced the design of churches across continents.

Yet, the human spirit is resilient. Faith finds a way to survive and reclaim its space. Cathedrals and churches are rebuilt, signaling a revival of spiritual values. The painting "Ruins Rebuilt" by Thomas Cole beautifully encapsulates this rebirth.

Through this narrative, SupremePunk #012 becomes a testament to the resilience of faith and the cyclical nature of history. It encapsulates the journey of Christianity, its ascents and descents, without attaching it to any specific region or culture, making it universally relatable.
