She contains the Creator of the Universe in her womb, fulfill-ing the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14: “Therefore the Lord himselfshall give you a sign...” The sign here is a portrait of the Cos-mic Christ Consciousness internalized in her being. Perhapsfully aware, or in shock, Mary stares out in silence, knowingwhat it is to be fully human, a female and mother receiving the fullness of joyand pain. Mary is the vessel, the container for God’s greatest gift in humanform, created by love.  8" x 12”
