"Elohim" is an intuitive pewter artwork, created in March 2021.
It was created after I stumbled on the Hebrew word "Elohim", which means "All powerful creator"
A friend of mine shared the meaning of the Hebrew pictographs with me, and it opened up a whole new layer of meaning in this piece:
Aleph- ox. (Jesus is the servant Ox)
Lamed -Shepherd staff
Hei - Grace
Yud- hand (hands bless)
Mem - water
Jesus the Good Shepherd leads us through Grace and blesses us with His waters of rest.
There is a lot of symbolism and meaning in this piece.
The 3-interlinking circles depict the Holy Trinity of Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
The square around the word "Elohim" is symbolic of stability and to me, depicts the firm foundation we have in God's Word.
The background lines never cross each other at an angle, as in neuroscience, the moment your brain sees lines crossing at an angle, it feels "stuck". I rounded these lines, to help the mind focus on the limitless possibilities we have. (Matthew 19:26 : With man this is impossible, but with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE)
The 3 circles are part of the square, but also outside the square. This shows that God is the Alpha and Omega, te beginning and the end, outside of time, but also part of our world.
The triangle is symbolic of the trinity of trinities (time, space and matter) God created as stated in Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Time consists of past, present and future Space consists of height, width and depth Matter consists of liquid, solid and gas.
Without this structure, we would not be able to exist.
The background colours were inspired by the beautiful colours and patterns found when looking at cells under a microscope.
