Notes

Artist statement: “This scripture has particular significance for me. During the first 6 months of my mission to Northern Japan, I saw very little progress. Each day was another inch of snow and another 80 doors unanswered. Then one day, I read this verse in my studies, and in that moment I felt like I could see the accumulation of my efforts, the hours upon hours of missionary work, contribute to the whole of my life’s story. And I could see my impact on the people I was trying to serve. And so whether it is in our callings or families, we should remember that a temple is built stone by stone, and that every contribution is significant in building the Kingdom of God. So here I’ve depicted two sisters doing their part, making the veil of the temple. No part in building the kingdom is too small to be ignored by our Heavenly Father.”
