THE CALLING

ABOUT THIS ARTWORK — THE CALLING

This piece does not portray faith as belief,
but as a last-resort reflex.

Most people build their lives on their own terms:
without waiting,
without listening,
without weighing the cost of consequence.

While things are working, God stays absent.
Not denied — simply unnecessary.

Then mistakes begin to stack.
The burden thickens.
Control slips, slowly, quietly.

And eventually —
when nothing else can be done —
a person kneels.

This kneeling is not humility.
It is not a moral awakening.
It is the posture of exhaustion.

The raised hand is not a prayer.
It is not devotion.

It says:
“I have reached my limit.”

In this work, God is not a guide,
but the final option when every other direction has failed.

The Calling captures the moment a person
takes ownership of their choices —
and leaves the dead end to God.
