Artist Statement

This piece was inspired by the current racial tension in the USA, and other countries.By doing an actual person, I believe this is as real as one can get,as the situation is as real as one can imagine.

How it fits into contest

We are in a spiritual battle.The death of George Floyd and other people is not only physical , but more spiritual.We do not battle the flesh, but against evil spirits and cohorts that control men and women, to do evil,a.
Therefore by putting on our defensive weapons (loins,breastplate,feet,faith shield,helmet), we can now launch with the offensive weapon(Sword of the Spirit) and believe every Word Of God.
As a result,we can now take an effective Stand,on our knees,and GRADUATE,as shown in the painting.
According to God's Word,HE has put breath in us,therefore WE CAN NOW BREATHE.
WE CAN BREATHE AND STAMP OUT RACISM.
WE CAN BREATHE AND BE SUCCESSFUL.
WE CAN BREATHE AND GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE.
WE CAN BREATHE AND LOVE OUR NEIGHBOURS.
WE CAN BREATHE AND FORGIVE OTHERS.
WE CAN BREATHE AND BE FREE,LIKE PAUL,who was in bonds,YET LIBERATED
WE CAN BREATHE AND LIVE.
