Sick!

"From survival to transformation."

What if healing doesn’t begin when I have it all together, but allowing a power beyond mine to fill in the gaps?

Sick! explores what happens when human strength runs out and God steps in. In the space past striving, where the body breaks and the soul bends, grace begins to work. Weakness, which was once feared, becomes fertile ground when surrendered to the One who transforms it.

  • Sick! marks a tonal shift, a vivid, almost electric burst of resilience at the edge of exhaustion. The palette leans into hyper-saturation, evoking Afrofuturist aesthetics and speculative imagination. The hand here is no longer limp or searching, it pulses with charge, suspended in a field of pinks and blues that vibrate with possibility.

    This is less about the body’s condition and more about its transformation. Drawing from a visual language of sci-fi and digital culture, the work asks what strength might look like after suffering, not as a return to normalcy, but as the emergence of something new. The hand is no longer passive. It is evolving.

    While earlier pieces navigate vulnerability, Sick! reclaims power. In its aesthetic boldness and compositional defiance, it signals the culmination of the chapter, a moment of testimony, not because all is resolved, but because endurance itself has become a language.

  • Sometimes survival looks like strength. Other times, it looks like surrender. In Sick!, we see the tension between feeling unbreakable and recognizing that even our endurance is a gift.

    The Bible tells us that God’s power is made perfect in weakness, that His grace doesn’t just carry us, it transforms us. Like Paul, who found purpose in his thorn, we’re invited to see our limits not as failures, but as spaces where God shows up.

    The future isn’t only for the strong. It’s for the held.

    “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
