Contending for the Bride

18 x 24 x 1.5 Mixed Media on Canvas

She stands immersed in living waters, facing the downpour of heaven—where deep calls to deep. Clothed in radiant white, she knows who she is. She does not flinch. The voice of the Bride speaks silently, but with eternal weight. She belongs to the Light.

Behind her strength stands a greater strength: the warrior. Eyes forward, gaze unshaken, she faces a world that resists what is sacred. The helmet of salvation crowns her resolve, and the shield—an echo of divine defense—marks her stance.

This is not a portrait of passivity, but of purpose. Of dual identity—bride and warrior, grace and might. It is a visual declaration: the fight is not to survive, but to stand in who she is, wholly and without fear.
