Description

"This is an image that I created after being affected by the horrific world news of 2023 that was repeatedly broadcast over the airwaves.....ie tv, radio and internet. I just had to stop watching or listening to the news for quite a while as I know full well how the media gets into feeding frenzies on this kind of thing.

I felt totally powerless but refused to be consumed by anger, rage or grief, so prayed long and hard for the serious situations in the world. In the end I found uttering these words quietly to myself as I came across snippets of continuing horror stories of what was going on in the world, gave me comfort and at the same time I felt shielded from the negative fallout created by this.

Some time later I felt to create an artwork with these words that could serve as a reminder to me and possibly others of Who is really in charge regardless of the evils within our world. There is always a 'big picture' and as mere mortals we rarely see it in it's true perspective, especially when we are caught up in it one way or another. So these words are a form of surrender for me.....ie giving it up and/or maintaining the prayer.

I created this artwork originally with a photograph of mine but then added a digital space effect that I felt was instantly right, so chose to leave it as it was."
