Artist Statement

Ironic that my inspiration with SOAR came during the time when I felt my life was in a series of falling-of-the-cliff kind of circumstance. When falling seemed like to never end.

Ironic but in my moments of falling and hitting rock bottom, I felt that I was soaring the highest because I knew God was above, beneath and surrounding me... sweeping me up and gliding me on His wings, His presence gave me the assurance that no matter what, I am safe and free.

That’s the beauty of our downfalls and our struggles. We pause. We rest. We hear. We wait. We realize. We see clearly beyond the limits of our sight.

SOAR is not just my story or personal reflection. It’s everyone’s story that presents who our Creator truly is that we can only discern when we allow ourselves to. SOAR depicts His immesurable power and might. SOAR embodies His perfect love that envelopes us and can never be separated from us. SOAR is not just about the character of God but it speaks to us on how we should learn to trust, spread our wings of faith, and hold on to His promises when the wind takes us in a different direction.

SOAR also shows us the times we fail and fall to the lies and traps of forces we think are so great as if in comparison to who God is; revealing our vulnerabilities like our fears that engulf us or our pride that consumes us into thinking we can achieve great heights with our own strength and effort, yet at the end of it all, He is still beyond what we can even fathom and comprehend... and no one can make us truly SOAR but Him.

We SOAR when we are willing to humble ourselves and let go. We must know and accept who is in control. He is in control. In our weakness we are humbled and in our humility, God picks us up and lifts us up in ways only He can do. The only way to SOAR is not by our own strength but by Him and through Him; on our knees, on the ground, reaching out to surrender to Him all that we are wholeheartedly and completely.

Isaiah 40:30-31

Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the Lord

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.
