Shelter in the Rock
In this artwork, the towering, radiant rock represents strength and shelter, echoing the Psalmist's cry for God to be "the rock that is higher than I" (Psalms 61:2). The serene landscape with flying birds and mountains reflects God's encompassing protection, symbolizing His role as a "strong tower" (61:3). The silhouetted figure kneeling in prayer emphasizes personal vulnerability and faith, demonstrating how God's presence offers refuge in times of overwhelming fear and uncertainty.

As an artist, I sought to encapsulate the deeply personal experience of seeking solace in God's unwavering strength. The rock, bathed in golden light, symbolizes God’s eternal refuge, while the distant mountains represent the higher perspective we gain when we trust in divine guidance. The birds soaring toward the sky further signify freedom and spiritual ascent, reminding us of God's promise to preserve those who trust in Him.
This artwork also carries a message of resilience. The individual kneeling in prayer represents humanity’s reliance on divine protection, particularly during times of distress, when emotions seem insurmountable. The juxtaposition of stillness and motion—the calm water against the movement of the birds—embodies the balance between waiting on God’s promises and stepping out in faith.
The Psalms’ verses remind us of God's continuous faithfulness: "For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy" (61:3). In life, we often face moments where we feel overwhelmed, yet this psalm assures us that turning to God brings peace. The sense of calmness illustrated in the sky's hues and tranquil waters suggests that even amid life’s challenges, God remains our constant source of hope and strength.
This piece visually reflects the comfort and peace found in trusting God, the eternal "Rock" who never fails to shelter those who cry out to Him.
