Faith

"Held by something small, moved by something greater."

A person is visible through a frosted or textured glass surface, obscured by condensation and bubbles.

What if the smallest belief could move the heaviest burden?

Faith traces the kind of belief that doesn’t shout but endures. In scripture, Jesus says that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. This piece reflects that promise, not through spectacle, but through a quiet resolve.

  • In Faith, the artist presents a gesture of reaching, both literal and symbolic. The image centers around a single hand extending toward something small, almost imperceptible: a mustard seed. Inspired by the biblical metaphor, this work reflects on how small beginnings can lead to radical transformation.

    The artist’s hand, suspended in clarity against a pale, near-ethereal backdrop, echoes both vulnerability and resolve. It’s not just about belief in a better outcome, it’s about belief in something bigger, even when nothing feels certain. The work points to faith not as escape, but as endurance, something deeply rooted in both personal experience and the spiritual legacy of those who’ve endured before us.

    Here, faith is cultivated in the quiet, in the in-between, and in the decision to reach again.

  • Faith isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a quiet reach, a trembling hand toward something small but deeply rooted. Scripture tells us that even faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. Not because of its size, but because of where it's planted.

    This piece is about that kind of trust, the kind that doesn’t deny the darkness, but dares to plant hope anyway. And from that soil, something greater begins to rise.

    “…Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20
