Acts 2:46 Kitchen Garden • handmade miniatures

In this blog, I will be talking about the art process of creating Acts 2:46 Kitchen Garden. The base of the miniature model is made by hand and most of the miniatures are from my childhood Barbie dollhouse. For materials, I used foam board, cardboard, wood popsicle sticks, paper, and other craft materials such as foam balls, foliage, and jewelry.

This artwork is reflecting my experience as a new believer in Jesus Christ. Recently, I had my encounter with Jesus Christ when I openly confessed my hidden sins to my mom in October of 2023. I was struggling with pornography, masturbating, and lying. Even though I knew of God and Christianity, I grew up in a split Christian home with Christian values, I hadn’t truly received grace until I spoke about my struggles openly. Back in 2022, I was beginning to read my bible more and pray but Jesus was working in my life to where He rescued me from the place of darkness I was in. I struggled heavily with depression and anxiety, was surrounded by friends who didn’t have a relationship with God, and went from career to career that wasn’t suited for me, jumping from one to another because I didn’t have any direction for my life, let alone did I know myself.
