Artist Statement

The beauty of snow, mountains, skiers, lakes , creeks, etc. in Colorado are stunning. I made a film out of hundreds of videos I had taken in Colorado last year with inspiring Bible verses to encourage my friends in troubles.

I didn’t prepare to participate in this contest, ‘cause many people became sick, unemployed, died which saddened my heart. I failed in many aspects and have been even more depressed in the pandemic.

One day I was meditating and thought I should not be like this. I recalled the contest so checked the deadline. Thank GOD I can still submit my artwork. There are too many disappointing things in this dark world. I hope my artwork will let people and myself see hope. I am making this film with Ephesians 6:10-20 Bible verses not only for the contest but also to inspire less or more people who are struggling like me to get inspired and keep faith hope love by the wonder of GOD’s creations.

How it fits into contest

As the survivor of tragedies, I lost trust in people. The verse “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” solved my long time confusion. All physical mental sufferings are caused by human sins which in turn are caused by Satan. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.”

GOD created a perfect peaceful beautiful world. But it’s filled with bad, good, evil, righteous, etc. things now. There are stunning wonders of GOD’s creations even in this dark world. Can we imagine how wonderful, joyful, beautiful the Heaven is? There are different options like protest against rulers, etc. Presenting beautiful peaceful nature is another way to put on the full armor of GOD. People maybe stop before doing something bad by thinking of GOD, by seeing the wonder of GOD’s creations. People in difficulties would have hope by seeing the beauty of GOD’s creations, by prayers, by thinking of the eternal life in painless fearless tearless heaven.

All people including me are sinners. I choose to encourage people and myself with bright side of the world through my talent in artwork.
