Safina Stewart: Building Communities

​The painting is about communities and families set free, strengthened.

The trees are rejoicing...

In the background is a mountain and campfire.
The underground river indicates the life force of Jesus.

Both paintings have gum leaves  with a tint of green in the foliage to indicate a traditional welcome from elders on to the land.

This painting depicts pattern work in the earths structure beneath
the surface, indicating a time-line from older to newer layers
and God's faithfulness over generations.
​
Both paintings point to the central cross that lies between them as indicating that the death and resurrection of Jesus has been instrumental in the Jubilee.
