Background of this artwork: To commemorate the budding life of a small child who died with the rest of the passengers in an airplane explosion over Egypt in 2015.  I used this piece as a reflection and conversation with my Father God. How we are created ? For what purpose? How do we find peace amidst tragedy and loss?
