Warner references a line from a John Townsend Trowbridge poem: “If thee'll lift me while I lift thee, We shall go up together!” At the bottom of the piece, fractured hearts imply humanity’s broken state and need for empathy. Above, open hands give and receive love. At the top, two three-dimensional hands are inscribed with words. On one hand are imprinted words of challenge; on the other, words of comfort. Together, they lift a red heart.
“When I feel my Savior’s love, . . . I am motivated to share it.”
