Notes
Microbiology major, BYU. Artist statement: "Created using Midjourney, with the following prompt: "Watercolor of a benevolent indigenous king seeking the will of God. Holding a glowing stone. Blurry crowd in the background. Muted colors. Side view." I wanted to visualize the humble power of a king under God. Knowing King Mosiah was an inhabitant of Ancient America, I wanted to see him as a Native American. It's mind-opening. "
