Artist Statement: 
When God creates Eve, He describes her in Hebrew as ezer kenegdo. Kenegdo meaning “opposite” and ezer “helper.” It is translated as “help meet”, or “helper suitable to [Adam]”. God showed Adam a perfect and equal partnership. Husband and wife are to help strengthen one another in the ways they cannot help themselves. The symbolism of the marriage triangle is shown with Heavenly Mother by Heavenly Father’s side, depicting that coming closer to God, is coming closer to one’s divine Identity.
