Taken along Koekohe Beach in New Zealand, Lee’s photograph Meditations of Old captures the beautiful Moeraki boulders that are scattered in clusters along the shoreline. The large spherical rocks, exhumed slowly by years of coastal erosion, were powerful to the artist.

“As I sat alone meditating with these giant, peaceful boulders before sunrise and until after sunset, I found myself increasingly moved spiritually by the symbolism they represented as true ‘wonders of old,” said Lee. “To me, the photograph not only evokes a sense of centered inner strength when I align my life with Christ but a metaphor depicting Him as my ‘rock.’”
