This minimal, semi-abstract piece, with its gentle and serene design, focuses on the bread and the cup, symbolising Jesus' body and blood as described in Luke 22:19-20: "And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.'"
The soft tones create a tranquil atmosphere, while the whitewashed background adds a layer of ethereal beauty, highlighting the central elements with subtle grace. The semi-abstract style invites the viewer to engage with the scene on a deeper level, encouraging personal reflection on the spiritual significance of communion.
This artwork serves as a powerful metaphor for the unity and fellowship among believers, as well as the profound act of remembrance and gratitude for Jesus' sacrifice. The simple, yet profound depiction of the bread and cup emphasises themes of grace, redemption, and the deep bond that communion represents within the Christian faith.
