Notes

English major, BYU. Artist statement: "This is part of a collection named, No Me Olvides (Forget Me Not in Spanish) inspired from the passage in 1 Nephi 21:14-15, “For can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee, O house of Israel.” In it is represented how the Lord is anxiously reminding us he does not forget us and is pleading us not to forget Him. With this instruction, the No Me Olvides series are born. Each piece comes from a specific verse in the Book of Mormon that highlights what we mustn’t forget about Him. Here, the ears of the Nephites and the Heavens are merged into a whole to emphasize the Lord knows if we don’t forget to listen to Him, we will be closer to Him and get to know Him better. The blue waves illustrate the Forget Me Not flower petals representing Jesus Christ and us. Once we hear Him, we become one with Him. “Forget Not”, he says, “I’m with you. Hear me, and you’ll be with me.” Medium: colored pencils on paper"
