Artist Statement: 
Designed by Emily and Geoff Shupe, this Christ figure blends orthodox iconography with contemporary simplicity into an elegant form that celebrates the Savior's resurrection morning. Utilizing the gesture of blessing, the "benediction hand," the figure indicates the re-unification of his two natures, the divine and the human, while also deferring the glory to God.
