This piece features Jesus reaching out to light into an ethereal sky setting, hinting at Michelangelo’s famous “Creation of Adam”. The Jerusalem cross, symbolizes the spread of the Gospel and God’s message, similarly as to how it flowed into my life and mindset (represented by clouds). Jesus rests in the foreground overseeing all. God’s Gospel shines in everyone’s life, as it is our job to reach out and harness it (2 Thess. 1:11-12) and do as Jesus does (John 14:12a).

To me creativity means to be able to find meaning and connection in anything, as well as connecting anything to a certain meaning. You have have full imaginative control and freedom to bring ideas together.
