Artist Statement: This painting portrays Mary at Cana as she approaches Christ before His first public miracle. I was interested in the quiet power of her faith—she perceives the need, brings it to Him, and trusts Him before any visible answer is given. The empty cup symbolizes lack and human need, while the vessel of water represents both offering and the possibility of transformation. The gestures between Christ and the women emphasize a sacred exchange: receiving, interceding, and giving. For me, this moment speaks to the spiritual strength of women—their intuition, their compassion, and their faith that Christ can turn emptiness into abundance.
