We can see that something extraordinary is happening: a person on the floor, light, wind, and gold.
The person is once again in a posture of humility and complete surrender, calling out: “Holy Spirit, come.”
We see that the presence of the Holy Spirit is there, indicated by bright traces resembling gusts of wind.
God’s presence may be perceived as gold, because it is precious and holy. The action of the Holy Spirit is often
described as wind: we do not know where it comes from or where it goes — we can only rejoice in its presence.

The soft modeling of the hands contrasts with the almost abstract background, emphasizing the tension between matter and the spiritual.
The painting does not depict an answer, but the very act of calling — a moment of trust and openness of the heart.

“Holy Spirit, Come” is a contemplative work that invites stillness and entry into a space of silence.
It is a painting about hope, trust, and readiness for an encounter with the One who comes gently.
