The rather long title for this piece comes from the Book of Mormon, which describes who Christ invites to come to him:

and [the Lord] inviteth [all the children] to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.

2 Nephi 26:33

I used the four simplest polygrams (stars), to represent the variety of peoples in Christ’s invitation. Each polygram approaches the center directly (parallel/perpendicular to the horizon) and at an angle (one of the 45 degree variations) representing the many ways we can come to Christ.

As each star approaches the center it passes through its own unique transformation but finds itself, in the end, more like its neighbors than it may have realized. Ultimately, all who come to Christ find that He was with us all along, hidden between us and holding us together.

Christ is represented by an octagram, or an eight-pointed star.
