Hands clasp, hug, hold, prepare, feed, reach, comfort, care, and share in Annan-Mensah’s image of neighbors. As each figure seeks to help those around her or him, God’s love is evident, symbolized by the heart grounding the scenes of service. Heavenly Father’s approval falls on the scene as pollen that drops from a sunflower. Annan-Mensah comments, “[Heavenly Father’s] heart desires that as He has loved us, we should also love one another.”
