Torbensen paints a family portrait where her family of nine travels together in Colombia, the birth home of her three youngest children. “I endeavor to capture the chaos we have lived as a family of nine,” Torbensen relates, “mixing culture and language, as well as the potential we all have to improve and help one another.” Her family’s roots grow deep as they work together, and the floating eggs represent each member’s potential. Torbensen herself is at the top of the scene, looking up for direction and guidance from God.
“I celebrate the call to nurture these precious souls on loan from Heavenly Father and teach them to love one another.”
—Johanna Torbenson
