Prayers Beneath the Noise, 2026
Acrylic, Oil Pastel, Mix Media on Unstretched Canvas
132.08 x 101.6 cm (52 x 40 in.)
This piece holds a quiet, intimate moment inside a world that feels anything but quiet. At the center, two figures kneel in prayer, hands raised in devotion, their expressions calm and focused despite the chaos surrounding them. Their connection feels grounded—shared faith, shared hope, shared stillness.
Around them, the environment tells a different story. Bright, saturated color collides across the surface, layered with symbols of conflict and contradiction—a tank above, drifting doves, fragments of text, and bursts of pattern that feel both celebratory and disruptive. The phrase “In a field of roses, be a wildflower” sits like a whisper of individuality within the noise.
The tension between peace and unrest is what drives the work. The figures are not removed from the world—they exist within it, choosing prayer, reflection, and inner grounding as an act of resistance. The doves suggest hope and spirit, while the presence of war imagery reminds us of what that hope is up against.
Prayers Beneath the Noise speaks to the power of stillness in turbulent spaces—the idea that faith, love, and connection can remain intact even when everything around them feels uncertain or loud.
