A contemporary abstract interpretation of the Cross, where colour, movement, and light intersect in a powerful expression of grace. Flowing arcs of gold, blue, green, and crimson converge at the centre, creating a visual reminder of redemption, hope, and new life. The composition balances strength and softness, reflecting both the sacrifice and victory found in Christ. Rather than depicting the Cross in a traditional form, the artwork invites the viewer into reflection, allowing each person to discover their own story within the layers of colour and movement.

“This work invites a deeper reflection on the meaning of Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection. It presents the Messiah’s Cross as more than a symbol — a meeting place of sacrifice and glory, suffering and restoration, death and new life. Through layered, abstract imagery, the artist brings together elements that point to this mystery: the cleansing flow of blood from His wounds and streams of pure, living water that speak of renewal and restoration. Light emerges as a sign of glory, while green suggests growth, healing, and new beginnings. At its center, held in love, is the Messiah with open arms — inviting us to look to, reflect and to encounter Him. As a personal call to “Remember Me,” the work leaves a question: what more do you see?”
