Mixed Media 46 inch x 48 inch
The Relationship Between 6 and 7 is a large abstract Art Piece that reflects the timeless interplay between human imperfection and the completeness of something greater. Inspired by sacred numerology, particularly biblical symbolism, the painting contrasts the number 6—representing humanity’s labor and resilience—with the number 7, symbolizing divine harmony and fulfillment. Together, they tell a story of transformation: from struggle to grace, from striving to wholeness.
The Six Ancestors: Humanity’s Journey
Six ancestors embody the essence of human striving. Each represents a universal struggle that shapes our collective story:
- Survival: The fight to endure life’s most basic challenges.
- Identity: The preservation of culture and heritage against erasure.
- Labor: The unseen sacrifices that build a better future.
- Justice: The pursuit of fairness and equality.
- Healing: The courage to face trauma and grow from pain.
- Purpose: The quest for meaning and belonging.
These figures remind us of the resilience and creativity passed down through generations, encapsulating the human condition—imperfect yet endlessly striving.
The Seven Strips: Threads of Completion
Seven strips of fabric weave harmony into the painting, symbolizing divine cycles, sacred rhythms, and promises of renewal. The number 7 signifies rest after labor, connection amidst chaos, and fulfillment beyond imperfection.
- Completion: A sacred rhythm of work and rest.
- Cycles: The flow of renewal in life and nature.
- Order: A reminder that human struggles are part of a divine design.
