Blood Moon
The first layer of this painting was a demo from my abstract workshop. As I was working on it today, this piece emerged from reflecting on the state of our world today. The deep reds and layered textures echo the unrest and conflicts unfolding across nations. The sweeping stripes represent countries and borders—lines we draw that often separate us more than they unite us.
At the center, a burst of white breaks through the chaos. For me, it represents hope—the goodness that still exists in humanity and the mercy of God that continues to shine even when the world feels dark.
The idea of the blood moon appears in the Bible as a sign in the heavens, a moment that calls humanity to pause and reflect. This painting is my meditation on that moment—when the world feels heavy with conflict, yet light still insists on being seen.
Even beneath a blood moon, hope still rises.
