“What Is My Soul Crying Out For?”

12 × 12 in | Mixed Media on Canvas

More than a portrait, this painting is a mirror.

It speaks to the silent burdens we carry—the longing to be seen, loved, and finally find rest. Hidden within the painting are the words, “save me,” representing what I believe is the quiet prayer of every human heart.

This piece is not about despair. It is about hope. It reminds us that the deepest hunger of the soul can only be satisfied by the One who created it.

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Inspired by a hardworking Bahamian woman, this mixed-media piece was created using coffee, pastels, oil, acrylic, and paint.
