"Calming the Tempest" captures a solitary Christ standing steady and tall in a boat in storm tossed waters. Lee's composition choice emphasizes Christ's grandeur and the intimate nature of His miracles. In Kate Lee's vision, the tempest represents the tumultuous storms we encounter in life, and Christ's posture is both an act of blessing and a command of peace.
Christ's raised hand is not just a gesture; it's a sign of comfort and rebukes the chaos that threatens to engulf us. Lee sees this as a reflection of the peace promised to us, a peace that is attainable if we open our lives to Christ's influence. As He quiets the storm in the painting, so can He calm the storms within our souls.
The artwork emphasizes the ever-present support and power that Christ extends to each of us, inviting us to experience the serenity He offers.
