BIBLICAL BOOKSHELF
A collection of pieces meant to be placed around the house—each one telling a three-dimensional story in a confined, sculptural style. The idea is to create visual art that holds hidden layers of meaning, much like a parable. These pieces are placed next to the Bible ideally and are designed to subtly bring scripture to life. As you look closer and view them from different angles, more details begin to reveal themselves—each contributing to a deeper understanding of the biblical narratives. The goal is to create a sense of discovery: after reading scripture, you return to the sculpture and begin noticing new symbols and connections. It’s like a quiet epiphany sitting in the corner of your home.
DAVID & GOLIATH

David and Goliath: Who’s Bigger?
Ironically, when cast in different lighting, David’s shadow can appear larger than Goliath’s. This visual twist speaks to a deeper spiritual truth—it’s not always about physical size, but about the unseen forces at work. With God’s help, we come to realize who the true giant really is.
Be mindful of the light you’re standing in. Sometimes Goliath can look bigger, but that may simply reflect how much—or how little—we’re using our spiritual light source: the Bible. Staying in the Word helps us realign with Christ, build confidence in what’s unseen, and face life’s daily battles with boldness.
EXODUS

MOSES: NO LIMIT
In this Exodus scene, we see Moses holding his staff firmly in hand. The subtle reflection from the cloud of God behind Moses' head is actually the brightest point in the piece—naturally catching the light. But it’s so subtle. Who would even realize it represents the cloud that led them through the water? I love that detail, even in its quietness. I also love how the water reaches out toward the viewer. There’s a raw, abrupt depth to it that really draws me in. The movement in Moses' clothing, the shadows cast by the water in the background, and especially the staff—all of it carries motion and weight. And then there are the colors. The multiple light sources pull the sculpture in different directions, giving it a kind of living tension.
