New GrowthNew Growth is about what it feels like when God is in your life, what it feels like to be renewed in his love. I wanted to make this because I wanted to show the kind of peace and hope you can have with him and how your life can literally grow and expand when you didn’t think it was possible. Things that represent this would be the fingerprint on the back it’s meant to symbolize how he molds our lives with his own hands but in a subtle quiet way and the butterfly represents us being transformed in new hope. That a time of rebirth can happen.

Will you pick it up?Will you pick it up? It poses a question about the sword and taking it on an adventure. However my real question is, will you do this with God? I wanted to make this piece to be about a Christian saying of taking up your cross and obeying God every day but I wanted it to look a lot more fun than that because it’s not always painful or begrudgingly like that. But, a sword wasn’t made for romantic ideals either.

InterlinkedWe’re surrounded by people every day, always close. With people, we have this feeling or connection, a mood that gets heightened when in contact it’s like a storm, it rolls in quickly. A subconscious emotion that says more about us than any words could express. So I wanted to make a piece that showed the spark of connection we have every day and even though it goes unnoticed it is how we live and communicate.
