Inspired by Luke 2:22-40

I wanted the composition of this image to emphasize the focus of the actions and words of Simeon and Anna. Instead of centering themselves, they center Christ. In the patterning of their clothes, I created icons to visually express the particularity of each person.

Jesus is held high while swaddled in cloth patterned in imagery of radiant starlight and olive branches of peace. Simeon’s sleeves are covered with imagery of doves, referencing the Holy Spirit who rested upon him, and eyes representing his witnessing of “a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” The prophet Anna needed no explanation of who the child was; she immediately praised God and shared the Good News with everyone who would listen. Her clothing is patterned with sound waves echoing the light of Christ.

The archival fine art paper print comes with an inch white border for ease of matting and framing. Comes in 11x14 and 18x24.
