Love is a heavily used word. It strings the words in songs together and unites hostile words in poems. It’s a miracle why this word has not deteriorated over the years.

The words in 1Cor. 14:4-8 are ever powerful and inspired me to create these illustrations. This project focuses on what love is, not what it isn’t.

The hands play a vital role in showing love to others. So I allow the hands in the illustrations to do the talking, demonstrating the various ways love manifests itself.

Love stands as the unwavering thread that binds our world together. It never falters, and its enduring flame continues to burn eternally.
