This piece was created with the help of my wonderful classmates, who represent the different beautiful ways in which God creates people. They are made in the made as God saw fit to make them. Knitting each and every one of them as a girl or boy for a purpose and a reason. -Edyta Iwanski
My art shows how we reflect God in ourselves. While this isn’t necessarily a physical reflection, imagining the reflection as physical can help when insecurities and anxieties run rampant. It allows me to quell those, as I am made in the image of God and loved for that. -Gabby Patchel
As an artist, my work is a reflection of the divine spark within each individual, encapsulating the concept of Imago Dei. Through my creations, I aim to explore the inherent dignity, beauty, and complexity of humanity. My art serves as a visual narrative, inviting viewers to contemplate their own divinity and interconnectedness with the universe. I seek to celebrate the divine imprint that unites us all, fostering a deeper sense of empathy, compassion, and reverence for life. -Dakota Snow
My interpretation of the Imago Dei is the acceptance God’s creation of my appearance because I am beautifully created in His image.
To express this idea, I drew a self-portrait
In my teenage years I have been very insecure about certain features of my face. Those features are colored in the artwork to portray my change of perspective on them: I started to see them as beautiful.
The piece also looks incomplete to show that I am in the process of acceptance, and that day by day, I am accepting my appearance as beautiful because I am made in the image of God -Hannah Hoang
God created every person uniquely and this artwork comments on how people try to reach out and achieve beauty in the world rather than in the Lord. Leading to the confusion of colors and in this case the stripping of oneself to try and put different pieces on ourselves. Exemplifying how we are made in the imago dei because it shows the feeling when we don’t believe that we are.
