Heroes (II)

King David, because his life is vividly described in the Bible. A man after God's heart. Yet, one with many failings. His Psalms show the emotions of life. His struggles, just like you and me. Bullied by his older brothers. Hated by his own boss. Tempted and fell to sin.

He is a warrior, yet he is a master of a performing art just like I am. (Besides being a harpist, he's also an actor! See 1 Sam 21:13.) He comes from humble beginnings. He writes poems that expresses his joys, and sorrows, and even his anger, anger that may even be criticized as "un-Christian" were it to be uttered in public, yet the very same struggles that we go through yet hide or only write in our own private diaries.

Instead of the traditional sculpture of Michaelangelo's, I choose to show Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculpture of David which show's David in action and the aspects of his life symbolically portrayed in the armor, harp, and his shepherd's bag.
