You Will Soon Be As I Am.

You Will Soon Be As I Am, 2024, 18x24”, Charcoal

This self portrait shows the artist standing before a silent skeleton that whispers “you will soon be as I am”. The image reflects the Christian teaching on remembrance of death, not as despair but as a call to repentance and a turning of the heart toward God. It reminds us that every person will one day leave this world, and that true life is found in preparing the soul for eternity.
