This is an Artprize piece from 2015 now on display at Kuyper College. It was created by Nick Kroeze and team and is made of seven different kinds of wood.
It features several colors flowing in segregated lines down the wall until they reach the bottom, where the colors disperse into each other. It shows the hope for racial unity that Martin Luther King Jr. longed for. One of his speeches is quoted on the sides of the piece.
As a Christian, I know that someday a great multitude of people from all races will live with Christ in perfect harmony. "And after these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands." Revelation 7:9
Hearkening back to my hanger pictures earlier this semester, I returned to the concept to try to show this unity. I got hanger of different colors, and had them all facing the same way, unlike the divided hangers from the first pictures. I also shone a light on them, trying to capture some of the aura of the book of Revelation.
