Two individuals respond differently to a hand proferring help. One reaches out to accept aid, while the other—either overlooked or unaccepting—keeps his hands in his lap. Cline asks, “Is he overlooked because of judgment, or is his refusal of aid a testament to the complexities of human struggle?” Cline hopes that in her painting, viewers ponder how to practically support those around them.
“Christ's teachings on love and charity are not abstract concepts but actionable mandates that find expression through our willingness to support one another.”
