Artist Statement: In the fourth watch of the night—the darkest hours before dawn—Christ came to His disciples as they struggled against a relentless storm. Exhausted and afraid, they believed they were alone, yet He was already on His way to them, walking across the troubled sea (Mark 6:46-52). This moment reflects the essence of grace: God’s divine help reaching us when our own strength is not enough. Christ steps toward us in our storms, offering peace and assurance that we are never alone.
