This painting emerged from a realization of who I am without Christ – a wretched, selfish and broken individual. In moments of reflection, I recognized the shameful ‘stench’ of the wickedness within me, a truth only God truly knows. This made me realise that I need a savior, and even in my weakest moments, God’s love endures. To all perfections I’ve seen a limit but His love endures forever. Sometimes, discovering who we are in Christ begins with seeing who we are without Him. It is in this revealing process that God gently dismantles the old mess within us, making room to create something new and redeemed.
