A visual representation of how I view my role with Christianity and the Church. My belief and faith has been questioned numerous times, or I’ve been told I’m not actually a Christian due to the fact I don’t go to church. But church has never been where I felt God, I feel God in isolation, nature, and community. I’ve never felt community in church.

Ode to Childhood is a remembrance piece that was part of my series, Forget Me.
