Artist Statement
This allegorical painting relates to my personal spiritual walk. It is about taking the first step of the journey, by stepping out of the boat of faith, as Peter did (Matt 14:29). Often I feel terrified yet I venture on trusting Jesus. My journey out of Past Traumatic Injury has necessitated walking through terror, in order to regain my trust in all aspects of life. As I step out, I trust God to assist me, but I am terrified another catastrophe may await me. I use some colours symbolically and in this case terror is conveyed by purple.
