"All are alike unto God,"—I chose to address this concept on a cultural level...The tree and its fruit represent the love of God, and people from different races collect the glowing orbs. The snowy branches of the tree provide a framework for a myriad of colors. To me, these rainbow shards represent God's excitement and awareness in creating diversity, and that all the colors must work together for optimal beauty. Only when all of the colors of the rainbow are combined does white appear—the hue representing purity and peace. The tree is large and all-encompassing, providing and making room for any who desire to approach and gather. God's love extends to all of His children, and He gives us the opportunity not only to partake of His love, but to share its abundance.
