The Woman at the Well

this is a small series of images (self portraits) that I have created inspired by the story of the woman Jesus met at the well in the desert. these images are meant to express the sorrow and shame of the woman before she received the water of life that she was freely given from the hand of Christ after he called her out on who she was and the life she was living. this is more of a modern day representation although in my heart i feel that many of us, myself included, are living with the worldly sorrow and emptiness this woman experienced for the majority of her life.

the thing is... i crave the living water more than the dirty water in my own cup. Jesus asked me for my cup so he could fill it up with the only water worth drinking. i feel i turn my back on that cup on the regular. sometimes i feel so much disgust with myself and the nature we are born into. i meet Jesus at the well often... in all honesty, this is a true deeply seeded confession, sometimes i am afraid i will go there one day and he wont be there...
