“My artwork uses symbolism to convey meaning. Here I use a snake and a lightbulb to talk about fear. Black mambas are one of the world’s deadliest snakes. Their venom causes paralysis, has adverse effects on the heart and can kill quickly. Fear is like this too – though it may not kill you, it can kill your dreams. Mountains of opportunity can look more like teeth warning us to stay put and settle. If we give in, we can end up living in a desert of complacency. It’s okay to be afraid but, if we weren’t afraid, what would we do? Why not do it anyways? Jesus never promised us life would be safe."
