Igniting Mixed Media (Pencil on paper, digitally overlaid textures and Qumran fragments)
Igniting is defined as causing to burn or to set on fire. Igniting was inspired by Acts 2, “The festival of Shavu‘ot arrived, and the believers all gathered together in one place. Suddenly there came a sound from the sky like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on each one of them. They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh and began to talk in different languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.” It is the account of what happened during Shavuot; the descent of the Ruach HaKodesh. It marked the beginning of the igniting of each individual believer present. We are not to keep this light to ourselves but let is spread and transfer it to others and set them on fire as well as recorded in Matt. 5:16, “In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
