This piece reflects a quiet, sacred moment—one that could be drawn from the life of Nathanael in the New Testament. Before they ever met, Christ said of him, “When you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” It lets us know that the Savior sees us—really sees us—even in our most private, unspoken moments.
In this painting, the solitary figure near the water under the tree suggests not only Nathanael but all of us who seek peace, answers, or simply a place to be known. Christ’s presence in the scene symbolizes His divine awareness and care for each soul.

We are never invisible to Him. Like Nathanael, we can trust that He knows our hearts, our questions, and our sincerity. This painting is about that truth: He still seeks out the one.
