Inspired by the grove where God and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith, Naidu depicts a lush forest in dots of ink. For Naidu, the grove is a reminder that God loves and hears His children. The Restoration of the gospel, beginning with the appearance of Deity in that wood, provides a way for all of humanity to receive God’s blessings.
"The restored gospel of Jesus Christ not only brings to us the fulness of the gospel but also gives us an opportunity to partake of His glory and become one in Christ through His Atonement."
