In this passage Paul writes to a new church about the necessity of work in their community. I focused on the liveliness of a group active among each other with their own individual talents and skills working together. By creating a composition using repetition and lively color, this work reflects on the necessary work that enriches our lives. These verses are active, enlivening and empowering to each person's value and necessary involvement to the greater whole. Ultimately, it is better to find joy and productivity in work.
