Artist Statement

The Hebrew word, "Echad" is a word that describes unity and oneness as in, we serve One God--the creator of heaven and of earth. The One who is above all things and in all things and who is sovereign over all things. Regardless of gender or national origin, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) is the God that we serve-we are all of one tree (see Romans 11), whether naturally or grafted in. This is what connects us in unity as both citizens of this Kingdom and heirs of the promise--echad!
