Description

This work has the following verse added taken from the Old Testament...
“And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee...
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing!”
Job 12:8,10
Hope this work helps to strengthen your faith in your daily walk with the Lord!
Alone in the fleeting light, a baby Green Sea Turtle must follow the natural source of light--the Sun, in order to find its way to the ocean! If it gets side-tracked by the unnatural, or man-made, sources of light, it will not ever find its real home. It will likely fall prey to predators or die from dehydration!
This artwork is intended to be symbolic for both ecological purposes to help bring awareness to how man can be part of the solution to the problems he has created, as well as a very spiritual and even religious symbol. On a spiritual level, this work can serve as a analogy as to how we as human beings immerse ourselves in material wealth and, thus, become entrapped and lured by the riches of this world; in essence we have lost our way in finding true meaning in this world! From a religious perspective, this work could symbolize for Christians, or for anyone who would seek salvation, to remember to always Follow the One True Light (as Christians believe that Christ showed the Way and the Truth to salvation); hence, the title.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English--
For That One was The Light of Truth, which enlightens every person that comes into the world.
