Artist Statement

This piece created itself. It was uncovered by the artist, who felt very moved to see the image of a contrite and surrendered man, giving himself in the presence of God, barely escaping the clutches of evil.

How it fits into contest

At the heart of strength is surrender. Without a complete trust in the love of our creator, we are hopeless to stand against evil. But with God, all things are possible.
