In Valley of Decision 2, Anne Reid Artist creates a scene of profound contemplation and transformation. The composition immerses the viewer in a vast, glowing landscape, where a procession of figures stands at the threshold of decision. The green light, rich and immersive, suggests both renewal and judgment, evoking the biblical reference to the "Valley of Decision" in Joel 3:14, where multitudes await their fate.
Abstract expressionism breathes into this piece through its fluid use of colour and form. The faceless figures, elongated and shadowed, hint at the weight of their choices, their silhouettes dissolving into the surrounding glow. The interplay of darkness and radiance emphasizes the tension between uncertainty and revelation, urging the viewer to reflect on moments of personal and collective decision-making.
This artwork resonates with themes of destiny, free will, and divine timing. The figures appear suspended between past and future, as if caught in a sacred pause before stepping forward. The perspective, slightly tilted, adds to the feeling of movement, pulling the eye toward the horizon where light gathers in a celestial crescendo.
Valley of Decision 2 serves as both an artistic meditation and a spiritual inquiry, inviting the viewer to step into the scene and consider their own place within the unfolding narrative of choice and consequence.
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision."
Joel 3:14, New International Version
