Refugees and Skateboarding

My Advanced Diploma art project looked at juxtaposing skate culture and refugees. The bright coloured backgrounds are reminiscent of fruit. Today's verse for the day on my mobile is;

Luke 6:43-45 New International Version (NIV)

A Tree and Its Fruit

43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.44 Each tree is recognised by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn-bushes, or grapes from briars. 45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

This tied in quite well with what I read in my Philippians reader; "Be Joyful" while on break from NMTAFE at St Johns Lutheran Church.

The difference between spiritual fruit and human religious activity is that the fruit brings glory to Jesus Christ. Whenever we do anything out of our own strength, we have the tendency to boast about it. True spiritual fruit is so beautiful and wonderful that no human can claim credit for it; the glory must go to God alone.

Here is a few highlights from a mural in the courtyard;
