Artist: Anthony Beard
Medium: Image Generation & Manipulation, Digital
The verse reads:
“What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” -- Matthew 16:26
Quite likely one of my most personal works to-date, “Give & Gain” serves as a personal reminder to never trade eternal worth for that which is common and temporary. Since losing my father to cancer in 1998, I’ve grieved and battled with disappointment and thoughts of times unspent – cut short.
Note to self: The soul of a child is eternal; the size of your mutual fund is temporary.
