Complex. The right three-fifths could be Christ of the Triangles - somewhat Dali-esque in tone, but then there's the left side, curves and more curves.I'm not at all sure what it says about spirituality, but it's a great picture.
Thank you very much, Bob. One thing the photo suggests is that St. Alphonsus RC Church in Toronto is a little liberal about church tradition. As I recall, this current substitution for a crucifix was preceded by one that resembled the statue of Rocky Balboa in Philadelphia.
Those look like replacement windows. Toronto Archives has a shot of the church in, I believe, 1911, but they've made it so hard to review photos online I couldn't find it for comparison.
