In FAITH, Anne Reid Artist explores the moment between fear and freedom, where trust is tested, and surrender becomes power. The silhouette of a figure extends forward, seemingly weightless yet tethered to the brink of uncertainty. Surrounded by a deep red and gold glow, the scene evokes both danger and divine illumination—a contrast between the abyss and the unseen hand that holds.
The composition conveys movement, with cascading strokes of red, orange, and black creating a vortex of emotion. The figure is not falling but leaning, an intentional act of trust. The absence of facial features transforms the subject into a universal symbol—one that invites viewers to place themselves in the moment.
The play of light and shadow reinforces the theme of faith, where darkness meets illumination, and hesitation meets destiny. The brushwork, layered and expressive, mimics the turbulence of decision-making, the chaos before clarity. The golden light radiating from the horizon suggests guidance, an unseen force leading forward.
FAITH is more than a visual statement; it is an experience of tension and transcendence. It speaks to those standing on the edge of change, waiting for the courage to take the next step.
"Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen."
Hebrews 11:1 (TPT)
