Davi Rabelo

"In the first weeks of this pandemic, at the end of each day, our family would go for a short walk to visit the community garden. With our kids, we would admire the flowers blooming and the vegetables and fruits starting to grow in the early spring. Even though we were surrounded by uncertainties and anxiety, the beauty and life of that garden was a reminder that God was still actively nourishing his creation. Borrowing symbolic elements from iconography, this linocut print was made as a personal reflection that Christ (ICXC) is the one who creates and ultimately sustains our lives. These strange times reveal our frailty, the brokenness of this world, and our need for a real hope that recognizes and confronts the deathliness that haunts us. Yet, there is still beauty to be found in God’s garden."
