Artist Statement

When man’s life gets tough, he can be driven to make the wrong choices, that’s when the real battle begins, but there is always a godsent who points us in the right direction.

How it fits into contest

It makes a direct reference to the scriptures found on Ephesians 6:10-20, however the way I wanted to communicate the message was in the way I use to get great messages some Sundays at bible school, where an small cast of people would create a short play, it also includes and small booklet representing the way me and my grand mother would preach to people on the streets.

Man
No, no, it's ok, I won't ask for anything
I just want to give you something you dropped the other day.

Peter
but this is a waste of time and makes no sense

Man.
But you're wrong we're all fighting fights inside. and we need to use the right weapons.

Peter
And what do you mean by that?

Man
That you, my friend, are fighting a very strong battle and you are not using the right weapons.
It is normal, many times in these situations we take things that do not belong to us or sometimes we hide behind some vices. We abandon our loved ones when they most need us and others. we take refuge from God and the yes. He does give us the right weapons

Peter
no offense but you don't look like you have everything you need

Man
oh boy! What I teach you today took me years to learn and today I have everything I need. you are still on time
