Krabill’s work, “A Visual Reflection on Fear and Connection,” will be on display to the public through Oct. 18. His current body of work uses the metaphor of death and resurrection to explore life's pain and loss. The hope the work holds out is that the interconnectedness of all life is our way to move from loss to redemption.
