While the surrounding landscape is barren, individuals work hard to bring the desert to life. Next to a river grow clumps of yellow, blue, orange, purple, pink, white, and red flowers. Those that don’t sprout naturally are placed in a greenhouse for cultivation. Salinas Bernal has named the piece The Garden of the Lord, reminding the viewer to dig, weed, and harvest God’s children around them.
“Let us receive and love each of His precious children, even when they have another appearance, way of dressing, or speaking.”
