Notes

Artist statement: "For this project, I created a hand-drawn image of the Savior using only words and verses taken from the second half of the Book of Mormon (Alma through Moroni). Each line in the image is composed of scriptures or principles that stood out to me over the course of this semester in my studies for REL 122, especially those that testified of Christ’s goodness, mercy, and invitation to come unto Him. The process of creating this piece was deeply personal and meaningful. As I searched the scriptures for verses that spoke to me, I found myself reflecting on how the Savior has shown up in my own life throughout this semester. Each line, curve, and word became a quiet moment of worship and connection. In many ways, the act of creating this art became its own form of testimony—a physical witness of God’s presence and love. I hope this image can do more than just express my personal faith. My desire is that it might invite others to “come unto Christ” (Moroni 10:32), to feel His peace, and to partake of the same sustaining goodness I’ve felt while studying His word and creating this piece. The Savior’s extended hand in the drawing symbolizes His constant invitation to each of us—no matter where we are spiritually—to return to Him and find rest."
