“From Him We Come, To Him We Return”

By Malky Urena

A sculptural meditation on faith, creation, and the human journey, From Him We Come, To Him We Return transforms organic forms into illuminated symbolism. Twisting vine-like elements rise from the earth, carrying light and fruit — representing life, growth, temptation, wisdom, and divine connection.

Inspired by the belief that all life begins with God and ultimately returns to Him, the piece reflects the spiritual cycle of creation, struggle, transformation, and renewal. The glowing apple symbolizes both knowledge and choice, while the flowing sculptural branches evoke movement, grace, and the unseen guidance that shapes our path.

Handcrafted with mixed media, epoxy, sculptural elements, and planter-inspired forms, this work blends nature and light into a powerful visual narrative about purpose, faith, and eternal belonging.

More than a lamp, this piece is an illuminated prayer — reminding us that even through life’s twists and storms, we are always connected to our source.
