Drawn to the Cross
Welcome. I’m Yuki Liang, the designer behind this website. This is where the story begins.
I became a believer in 2024, yet long before I understood what the cross truly meant, I was already drawn to its form and structure. More than fifteen years ago, I created several paintings centered on the cross. At that time, I did not yet understand what it meant. I only sensed, vaguely, that this symbol helped me release something within myself — that it could carry something unspoken, something I could not yet name.
The sketch shown here was drawn in 2009, when I was nineteen years old and had just entered university. One afternoon, lying on my bed in my dorm room, I felt deeply restless and overwhelmed, unsure of what to do with myself. I picked up a pen and began to draw aimlessly on paper. Slowly, a cross emerged in the sky.
The dense, tangled lines mirrored my thoughts — confused, heavy, and without direction. Yet unexpectedly, within that chaos, a sense of order caught my attention. The cross filled the sky — vast, weighty, and still — as if holding everything in place. Without fully understanding why, I followed that order — its structure and visual pull — and continued drawing.
Looking back now, this sketch feels like a foreshadowing of my later journey—that within confusion, feeling lost, and weight, there would be a steady power that would find me and give me new life.
The Purpose of This Website
This website grew from a desire to create artwork I'd love to live with in my own home.
I've always been drawn to interiors that feel calm, timeless, and quietly intentional. I wanted Scripture to feel equally at home within those spaces—not as something added afterward, but as something that naturally belongs there.
Most of the pieces here begin with carefully selected public domain paintings. Through thoughtful adjustments to color, composition, and fine details, I reinterpret each work with a designer's eye before pairing it with a Scripture that resonates with its mood. Rather than simply placing words over an image, I look for a natural conversation between art and Scripture, allowing each to deepen the meaning of the other.
