Notes
Artist's statement: February 26, 2021. A reference to D&C 131:1–4. “In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees; and in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage]; and if he does not, he cannot obtain it. He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase.” The red circles represent a sealed mortal couple; the white circles represent Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father; the white loop represents our unity with our Heavenly Parents through our covenants; the yellow between the circles represents the strength and light that come from our Heavenly Parents to us through the new and everlasting covenant; and the smaller light circles on the outside represent God’s promise to Abraham that his posterity would multiply as the sand of the sea.
