I was just finishing chemotherapy after breast cancer when my agnostic, Jewish brother-in-law wondered if it was possible to create a cross with the Christ figure blended with the Tree of Life. My creative spirit had finally returned after the cancer treatment ordeal and this just flowed out. The face of Christ is looking over his left shoulder. The 5 wounds are in red glass and the wound in his side is orange to represent the water and blood that ran out.
