The paralytic has been carried by his four friends across town and unceremoniously let down in front of Jesus and the packed house. As he obediently and miraculously stands on his own feet, his mind explodes with understanding.

The inspiration for the halo in gold leaf came from Roy Lichtenstein’s 1965 print Explosion.
