32” x 32”
Materials: Birch plywood, maple drumsticks, hardwood dowels
This commissioned piece was created for a newlywed couple in Washington, D.C., who were drawn to a design that felt warm, natural, and intentionally simple. Inspired by Psalm 91:9–12, which speaks of God's protection and refuge, the piece was designed to visually embody that sacred sense of shelter.
The central image came from a moment of reflection—cupped hands forming a space of safety, with the shape of a home emerging in the negative space. It’s a quiet but powerful representation of being held in “the shadow of the Most High.” The curved top layer, which suggests a hill and a gate, mirrors the heel of those hands—guarding and embracing the home.
The frame is constructed from 1¼-inch dowels and held together with wooden pegs, subtly echoing the form and rhythm of the maple drumsticks used throughout. These small details bring unity to the piece, tying its elements together in both form and meaning.
