This artwork depicts the baptism of Jesus Christ, with the artist purposefully portraying Jesus as a person of color to challenge the traditional European representation of the Messiah. By expanding the concept of Jesus beyond traditional boundaries, the artist invites viewers to consider different perspectives and interpretations. The hands above symbolize those of John the Baptist, who played a pivotal role in the baptism, while the dove represents the Holy Spirit. The inclusion of the design pattern serves to symbolize the presence of God. In accordance with the Old Testament, where God commanded the Jews not to depict him through the likeness of any living creature.
