Never Thirst Again — Living Water (John 4:14)

Never Thirst Again — Living Water (John 4:14) is a faith-inspired mixed media illustration created as part of my Savior Over Sin visual art series — a collection focused on expressing biblical truths through symbolic imagery.

Inspired by the promise found in John 4:14:

“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst…”

This piece depicts water being poured into a glass by hands bearing symbolic wounds, representing Christ as the giver of Living Water. The reflection of the sky and landscape within the pitcher serves as a visual metaphor for spiritual renewal — suggesting that what is offered extends beyond physical need and into eternal fulfillment.
