You know, the problem with taking a humorous tone with this is that (according to the artist's notes) this is an expression of her religion, and while you're writing the fic for another person, since it's inspired by this artist's art, she's going to check it out (I know I would) and she *might* get offended at a humorous interpretation. I don't know the artist, so I don't know if that would happen, but that would be one of my concerns. You could always ask her if she minds you interpreting it humorously, though. (Just thought I'd point that out in hopes of avoiding any possible wankage.)
