This painting is a visual prayer, a moment of surrender and steadfast trust. The boy, knee-deep in rising waters, becomes a symbol of every soul choosing faith over fear, light over despair. Surrounded by stillness and shadow, he raises his torch, not in defiance, but in quiet confidence that God’s light never fails, even when the path ahead is unseen. It speaks of the strength found in trusting the divine plan, of peace that comes when we let His light lead us through the unknown.

In the face of darkness, faith shines brightest. Here, I capture the courage to stand firm, even when the waters rise, holding onto the light that guides us. Proverbs 3:5-6
