Artist Statement

Through a Glass, Toward the Light focuses on a quiet moment of reflection, when attention turns inward toward the sacred. A single figure stands before a glowing light, formed with simple geometric shapes that recall stained glass and structured spaces. The light is calm and steady rather than dramatic, suggesting gentle spiritual understanding instead of spectacle. Soft blues and warm golds create a peaceful balance between human limits and divine presence. The piece invites the viewer to slow down, look toward the light, and remain still.

How it fits into contest

1 Corinthians 13:12 talks about how our understanding is limited now, but will one day be clear: “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face.”
This drawing shows that idea. The shapes, like stained glass, suggest that we see truth through layers and limits. The figure does not reach for the light, but stands quietly before it, aware of it but not fully able to understand it. The glowing sun represents divine truth—present and real, yet not completely known. The figure’s stillness reflects humility, trusting that clarity comes through patience rather than control.
