Jacob's Ladder

Genesis 28

Jacob asleep in the open desert, a ladder of light rising between earth and heaven — the moment he first understands the ground he is standing on is holy.

About this piece

This scene is one of nine in an original Old Testament series built as a single visual system — one palette, one geometry, one light across all of them, with no black outline and no reused stock or public-domain engravings. It works for catechesis on dreams, vocation and God's presence in ordinary places, and holds up just as well as a standalone piece or alongside the rest of the series.

Because it's vectorized, the same artwork scales from a parish bulletin insert to a full-bleed banner without being redrawn.
