Figures rise in soft flame across a canvas of orange and gold in this abstract print. Rahab 11 hints at divine encounter and hidden intervention.
Pictured below: RAHAB 11 and RAHAB 12
Rahab 11, print draws from the biblical account of Rahab—whose protection of Israel’s spies changed the course of her people’s future. The work captures that turning point not with literal detail, but with colour and atmosphere. Against a field of saturated orange and gold, soft-edged figures rise like a procession through fire, representing the unseen decisions that alter destinies.
Anne Reid’s colourist technique invites viewers to see beyond form. The figures appear transient, almost spectral, echoing the fragile moments when heaven intersects earth. Her abstract expressionist approach avoids overt symbolism, allowing the warmth and translucence to do the work of conveying tension, reverence, and divine orchestration. It suggests a kind of spiritual alignment where risk leads to rescue.
The composition is gently divided—earth and sky, seen and unseen—mirroring the dual reality Rahab navigated: caught between destruction and redemption. The right side hints at a boundary or threshold, possibly a gate or a wall, echoing Jericho’s literal and symbolic border.
This piece complements others in Reid’s prophetic portfolio such as Seed of the Woman, Friend of the Bridegroom, and Oil Lamps, each exploring intersections of choice, covenant, and light.
Design Tip:
Rahab 11 is ideal for warm-toned rooms, entryways, or transitional spaces. Pair with neutral decor, brass fixtures, or layered textiles to echo its sense of quiet unfolding. Its scale suits groupings but can stand alone in smaller alcoves or reflective corners.
