This piece is very personal because it represents my journey as a Christian and my understanding of Christianity. Gift of the Magi speaks to the gifts of redemption brought to us through the gift of Christ. The red circles are the blood of Christ which washes away our sins and brings us healing. The white is our sins washed clean as snow. The gold through out the piece represents the presence of God throughout our journey. Blue the presence of heaven and the Holy Spirit.
