I like to create living statues with concepts from the Bible, word jezus said or about names of God. The stillness and different poses draw people in and show a message without words.
This living statue is for times as these where people hate eachother for no reason and even christians join in this battle of opinions.
The statues shows 2 very different men, one businesman and a punk-type-of-guy. The man shoots 3 arrows in the back of the young man( this could be; contempt, slander or righteousness of opnion). The young man turs to ask why, he did it while the other is expecting to be beaten up. Instead surprisingly, the young man chooses a different, remarkable reaction. He forgives, thus de-escalating to situation that the older man, who did not expect this responds too, in choosing love instead of fighting.
i chose to create them in bronze, to show the earthly colours , and to show the dirt in between the bronze, symbolic to mankind.

It shows that we are not to fight eachother, but that we can be aware that there is a spiritual world. When we respond in the ways of jezus, it is very hard, but then we do not cooperate with the ways of the enemy. We are warriors for Christ and in forgiving others we have a great tool to show people the love of God for them.

The only words that we use are written;
There is an amazing book, that says love your enemy.
