SPRING OF LIFE
Acrylics on canvas with augmented reality, 2024, 160cm x 210cm
"Spring of Life" captures the poignant intimacy of a Chinese elder in prayer, embodying universal themes of renewal, gratitude, and unwavering trust in God. His deeply etched face tells a story of a life rich in wisdom, devotion, and quiet resilience, while his upward gaze conveys a silent yearning for spiritual rebirth—like delicate spring blossoms breathing life into barren earth.
This artwork invites reflection on the transformative power of faith, the beauty of gratitude, and the ever-renewing grace of the divine—a message that resonates through every season of life.
"I, the LORD, will always guide you; I will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." – Isaiah 58:11
