What remains on the plate tells the story of what was given.
In Take, Eat, the remnants of a strawberry rest beside a cup of wine and a crown of thorns. The fruit has been consumed, its red stain left behind—a reflection of love poured out so another might be nourished.
Drawing on the sacred imagery of communion, this painting contemplates Christ’s invitation to receive the love He offered through sacrifice. As the opening work in Fruits of the Spirit, it asks us to consider the cost of the love that sustains us—and how we might offer that love to others.
