This work was conceived in Tahiti in 1992 and completed during Easter 1994.

On these Islands, the men frequently wear leis on their heads at times of celebration.

The vision I had was of Christ bursting from the cross from darkness into light, from sorrow to joy.  Instead of a crown of thorns he wore a crown of flowers.  The other side of the cross represents the presence of the Lord.

Hebrews 12:2… who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
