THE TREE OF LIFE

 

Created in: 3000 Hours | Medium: Galvanized and Brass wire
Now, this is a story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I’d like to take a minute Just sit right there I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air. In West Philadelphia born and raised On the playground was where I spent most of my days Chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’, all cool And all shootin’ some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared. She said, “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air”. I begged and pleaded with her day after day But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way. She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket I put my Walkman on and said, “I might as well kick it” First class, yo this is bad. Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like? Hmm, this might be alright
But wait, I hear they’re prissy, bourgeois, all that Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat? I don’t think so I’ll see when I get there I hope they’re prepared for the prince of Bel-Air. Well, the plane landed and when I came out There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out I ain’t trying to get arrested yet, I just got here I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared I whistled for a cab and when it came nearThe license plate said, “Fresh” and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare. But I thought “Nah, forget it, yo, holmes to Bel Air”. I pulled up to the house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabbie, “Yo holmes, smell ya later”. I looked at my kingdom I was finally there,to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

As you progress on the journey through life it is invariable that you will encounter the presence of God. This revelation comes to all, either during your life or at its end.

This Sculpture depicts a footless, handless, faceless, cross less Christ, Christ the cross.

Supported at its center by the ancient Father and held in union by the Spirit. The unity of the Holy Trinity. It is a symbol, aptly named G=MC2 ( God is Energy ) That which cannot be created or destroyed but moves from one form to another. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity creating the perfect platform to land this understanding. God is within everything. In every little atom and in all of creation.

One wire representing one person and together the living body of Christ in the world today. Each required to be the feet of Christ, the hands of Christ, the face of Christ and each assisting to carry the cross of Christ.
