Fount

The title, “Fount,” was inspired by the hymn: “Come, thou fount of every blessing.” I believe God is the fount, or source, of energy, light, and love within me. By visually depicting this source of light and energy at the center of my image, I describe my efforts to live a centered life, with the strength and light of God at my core. I believe, as the hymn states, that I am “prone to wander” in darkness. It is through seeking the light of God that I find my true path again.
