|description_of_content=Ben Sakoguchi's ''Comparative Religions 101'', consisting of 16 painted panels, was selected for the ''California Biennial 2022: Pacific Gold''. The centerpiece depicts a diminutive Albert Einstein dwarfed by an expansive and vibrant view of the Grad Canyon. Surrounding the central painting are 15 additional canvases, each exploring humanity's quest for power and influence through satirical juxtapositions referencing religion, geopolitics, world history, and pop culture. Three swastikas are used on a flag behind Japanese Emperor Hirohito, on a flag alongside a Sikh brigade of an Indian military unit composed of prisoners of war, and behind soldiers who fought for the Independent State of Croatia–a puppet government under Hitler's Germany. | |description_of_content=Ben Sakoguchi's ''Comparative Religions 101'', consisting of 16 painted panels, was selected for the ''California Biennial 2022: Pacific Gold''.
