I considered the theme "becoming" to be related to the idea of maturing. Maturing in faith and as a person means taking risks. It is through the process of taking risks that we grow ans become who we have the potential to be. I painted a series of divers, which to me are a visual metaphor for risk taking- taking a leap, going to the depths- taking the chances we need to take to attain our potential.
