“Inside The Box”
Although a box is typically viewed negatively as restricting, this body of work explores the concept of symbolic “boxes” that God, in his loving wisdom, places us in—whether through circumstances, identity, or commands—calling us to a position that is uniquely our own. What at first glance could be seen as boxes that confine us, God intends as vignettes that define us. The mix of colors and gold flake that shimmers within some of the squares serves as a reminder of the beauty and joy that can be found when we embrace the box we have been placed in. It's about accepting and finding contentment in the life that has been designed for us, even when it's not what we would have chosen. This painting reflects what scripture says in 1 Peter 1:6-9, that true happiness comes from surrendering to God's plan and finding the glory within the confines of our “boxes”.
