**Until the Whole World Glows, 2026** A striking composition of intersecting crosses and luminous colour, *Until the Whole World Glows* explores the movement of light through darkness. Layers of geometric forms create depth and rhythm, drawing the eye from one illuminated cross to another, each appearing as a source of hope within the composition. The artwork balances structure and softness, with vibrant tones emerging from a darker backdrop to create a sense of growth, connection, and transformation. The repetition of the cross motif suggests a journey that extends beyond a single moment, reflecting how faith, grace, and hope can ripple outward through individuals, communities, and generations. Both contemplative and uplifting, the piece invites viewers to reflect on the enduring power of light and its ability to illuminate even the darkest places. Through its layered composition and radiant colour palette, *Until the Whole World Glows* offers a visual meditation on hope, renewal, and the lasting impact of a single light shared with others.

“This work reflects on salvation as light that grows, beginning in individual lives and spreading outward. It suggests that each encounter with the Cross carries the potential to bring light into darkness. It Speaks to both the personal and shared nature of this transformation. As light increases, darkness gives way, revealing a quiet but powerful truth: change does not happen all at once, but builds through many lives, many different moments. Highlighting the theme of “Remember Me,” the work invites us to see Easter not as a distant event, but as something still unfolding — a light that continues to spread, until the whole world glows.”
