Calvin University Center Art Gallery

The image is a dramatic, monochromatic illustration depicting a man and woman in distress, surrounded by a backdrop of posters with haunting, accusatory words like "LOST," "GONE," and "FIND." The figures display heightened emotion, their expressions and body language suggesting urgency and vulnerability. The background posters contain sketches of faces with intense, searching gazes, contributing to a tense, mysterious atmosphere. The artwork vividly captures themes of searching, loss, and despair, resonating with the biblical parable.
