This article covers Armenian cultural engagement with *Beach Surgery*. For specific works, see Armenian adaptations of Beach Surgery.

Armenian engagement with Beach Surgery has been particularly dense in **icon-panel cycles**, **khachkar carving**, and **Armenian Apostolic Church** liturgical thought. The novel's framework—**the glitch** as irreparable seam, **refusal** as redemptive act, **sacred incompleteness**—resonates with Armenian medieval mystical traditions and theology of redemption-through-refusal.

Documented works include:

  • A seven-panel icon sequence (2022, location  redacted ) depicting **Leif** and **Katita** in prayer and refusal, using egg-tempera and **Armenian script**.
  • ** ████████ ** (2019 film), shot in Yerevan and the Ararat Plain, treating **the three injuries** as echoes of wilderness temptation in Armenian theology.
  • **The Three Temptations Pavilion** (ongoing), a site-specific stone installation and pilgrimage site.
  • Multiple Scholar: “"The wound in *Beach Surgery* is the wound of consciousness reflecting on itself. We have monasteries built on this wound."” [citation needed]
