A dramatic contrast of darkness and light, Through Love, Into Eternity (By the Cross) presents a fractured wall marked by the signs of human struggle, brokenness, and isolation. Graffiti, weathered surfaces, and scattered debris create a visual narrative of a world searching for meaning amid confusion and decay. At the centre of the composition, a radiant opening reveals a luminous cross extending into an endless horizon of colour and light. The striking passage draws the eye beyond the damaged exterior, suggesting hope, renewal, and the possibility of transformation. Warm tones and vibrant geometry illuminate the scene, creating a powerful sense of invitation and discovery. Balancing realism with symbolism, the artwork encourages viewers to look beyond what is broken and consider what lies beyond it. The piece serves as a visual reminder that even in the most ordinary or difficult places, there remains a pathway toward hope, restoration, and a future filled with light.

“This work reflects on salvation as a reality that lies closer than we often realize. It presents love as the way in, and the Cross as the path through which real change becomes possible. Through this piece, Solomon invites us to see eternity not as distant or unreachable, but as something we can encounter through relationship, surrender, and grace. What restores us is not effort or struggle, but love shown through sacrifice — the Cross. The work calls us to recognize that the doorway to new life is already before us, even in the ordinary places where we face brokenness. Jesus made a way, don’t miss it.”
