As a couple climbs a beautiful but precarious cliff, the Savior stretches out His arm, reaching for the woman’s reaching. A man’s hand is on her back, steadying her as she strains. Hastriter draws on personal experience for the piece: “Like the woman in my painting, I have been lifted up and strengthened by my husband.” She emphasizes their partnership: “We lift each other up and strengthen each other, even when the climb seems unbearable.”
“As we focus on Jesus Christ, the shadows give way to light, and the treacherous climb becomes bearable—perhaps even beautiful.”
