"The Pain, The Cry Out" is an artwork inspired by the well-known biblical episode of Judas who had betrayed his teacher, Jesus of Nazareth, or Jesus The Messiah - Jesus Christ. The story of a man who had been waiting so long and with the expectation of generations and generations of Jewish people about a Messiah who would appear to defeat militarily or politically the oppressor, which were the Romans at that time, when he got to learn more about the existence of Jesus of Nazareth, he has disappointed his long wait for Jesus would never touch a hair of a Roman to the point that he disbelieved in Jesus as if He was not who he and the Jewish had been waiting for. Judas had betrayed Jesus as Jesus had "betrayed" Judas's belief for such a long wait but little did he know that God's kingdom was beyond what he could understand and expect while still being an ordinary people in the earthly world. In this illustration, the depiction of Judas was crying and can be seen through the screwed hole in Jesus's crucifixion palm. The pain that Judas and Jesus had suffered in this biblical episode was wrenching, the disappointment Judas had was felt to be too much for himself to endure, and the physical and mental pain Jesus had to overcome seemed to be too horrendous for Him to not crying out to His Father. At the very end moment of their own lives, both of them felt like they were left by God but truly God has always been there with them - God was with Jesus and Judas, as He took in both Judas and Jesus's pain at their own disatisfying moment. By using minimal materials for the work while already holding strong reference from the bible, the aim of them all as a composition is to achieve relatability in everyone who is expecting to see God's promise of life and justice that everything is so close, the waiting is coming to an end, and surely one day you will see it soon of how you had never been alone in worldly pain.
