This piece portrays the sacrifices of war. I used a lot of red, black, and white in this piece to show the violence of war. The quote in the back reads "Take this, all of you, and drink from it. This is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all, so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me." Many church goers are familiar with this line. If one was to read the bold words only, it would read "My blood will be shed for you and for all, do this in memory of me." The reason i did this is to show the sacrifices that are made for the freedom most people take for granted.
