Artist Statement

The body language in this artwork shows my feelings. Once I feel nervous, I would ask God and talk to God. We can pray anywhere, any time, any place. We don't have to be afraid no matter what surrounds us because I know that God hears our prayers. I painted this artwork in my own colour. I think art is based on human life, human nature, and personal emotion. Usually, I paint my first layer based on my memory and feeling.

How it fits into contest

This artwork is about personal life. As a Christian, I was baptized in 2019/11. The battles of spiritual warfare are intense after I decided to accept Jesus as my Savior. Thus, I started to paint my feelings in colors. This artwork shows I am asking and talking to God. I know without God, I am powerless and nothing.
