ARTWORK on Psalm 13 by Daisy Colón

 

Graduating M.Div. Senior Daisy Colón created this mixed-media artwork as part of her final project in my Psalms course this semester. The artwork offers a powerful visual corollary to Psalm 13's themes of distress and hope. Daisy notes that the cry "how long?" occurs multiple times in the poem (four times in vv. 1-2). Here is human wretchedness, alone under a giant sky, on rough, black sinking ground.
