Artist Statement

This photo is part of a photoshoot I've been doing for some time with the background of the faith that we all have strong within us. And it is this force that removes mountains, that heals the pain and that makes us go forward carrying our cross in the struggle for our daily bread, that makes us pray and make a brother try again before giving up on living. The faith that brings us the certainty of healing from the evil, because only in this way when we kneel and raise our desires to the heavens do we make everything possible, because there is no limit on the material plane for those who believe in the strength of spiritual energy.

How it fits into contest

Spiritual warfare is very well described in Paul's letter to the Ephesians, 6:12. To face this battle, we must first pray and have faith aware of the power that God has given us to fight with our spiritual weapons. The subject in the photo is the faith of believing that the fight for better days is in the faith in God, which coincides with the topic of the competition.
