Notes
Artist statement: "I love this moment in the Book of Mormon when Abish touches the Queen’s hand to wake her. This is one of the only interactions between two women recorded in the Book of Mormon, and it is such a beautiful one. One faith-filled sister’s hand helps bring another to her feet, where she immediately testifies of Christ for all to hear. A moment, a touch, and a witness they now both share."
