Suddenly a Light Descended

A red triangle at lower left, with a white pillar made from the negative space of two larger yellow triangles pointing down at it.

August 12, 2023. A reference to the hymn “Joseph Smith’s First Prayer.” “Suddenly a light descended, / Brighter far than noon-day sun, / And a shining, glorious pillar / O’er him fell, around him shone, / While appeared two heav’nly beings, / God the Father and the Son.” The red triangle represents the boy Joseph. Made with Figma, Procreate, and Affinity Photo.
