"GRACE" visually explores the concept of grace and the human condition. "I feel like there's a lot of different things to the son," Kate shares, referring to the painting's subject, who is reaching out towards a divine figure. The near-touching hands symbolize "vulnerability, trusting Christ, and reaching out," capturing the moment before grace is fully embraced.
The painting acknowledges human imperfection, as Kate notes, "we're all going to make mistakes here, and we're all going to fall short of everything." The red color in the artwork represents our sins and fallibility, emphasizing that "we're human and we're fallible," yet, a message of hope remains: "through Christ, His Grace makes up the difference."
Kate Lee's intention is to convey that we can "turn to Christ and accept that grace" instead of condemning ourselves. It's about accepting the grace offered "every second of the day," and remembering the transformative power of Christ's love, "Christ will make us clean and pure."
