Dela Cruz says "It is my way of giving thanks to the Lord for all the blessings He has showered me throughout my life. In executing this collection, I sought to portray the Crucifixion of Christ in a more personal and unique way."

His metalworks portray Christ’s transcendence from the cross and joyous ascension to heaven. "In a world where we are surrounded by pain, suffering and discouragement, Jesus leads the way and shows us that we too can transcend this world," he said.

The exhibit shows Christ figures in striking, slender and elegant forms accentuated with exquisite renditions of His hands and fingers, a hallmark of all the works of Dela Cruz. Jesus Christ is depicted as the Hope in Our Lives, Tree of Eternal Life, and A Living Spirit constantly by our side.

Transcendence and Ascension vividly exemplifies Christ’s glorious rise to heaven. The Father, The Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is expressed in Trinity. The collection also includes various unique depictions of Christ, which show Him as more than the figure we see nailed to the cross.
