If you saw me now, would he call me again or pass me by?

Artist Statement

"What is Truth?" For me, this question connects to being seen. What would I do if I knew I had let Jesus down? Hide? Fear God's response? Trust? These feelings led me to draw Peter, in charcoal and watercolour, using John 21 as the foundation. Peter mends a net. Jesus has died but not yet risen. Peter's failures are raw—as friend and disciple. With truth so exposed, he asks, "If you saw me now, would he call me again or pass me by?"
The answer reveals what truth is: not my distorted perception where I see only failures, but what God sees. God sees all of me, you, and Peter—and declares, "My heart is always for you." This truth is humbling and, as Ephesians 3 says, beyond experience, knowledge, and imagination.
