"The canoe is going over the waterfall, which is a scary situation to be in, but the wings—which the person in the boat may not even see—represent God's protection and salvation in even the scariest circumstances. Pastor Randy also pointed out to me later that you normally steer from the back of the canoe, so the fact that the canoe's rear seat is empty may also represent God Himself steering invisibly. The point is that when we feel so out of control, our God is still in control, is still present, and is working in ways we do not see yet. Painted during Jericho Jones's message on grief."
