'Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father"' John 20:16-17

In this picture I consider the Resurrection of Christ. I tried to imagine what Mary must have felt like. Having recently witnessed and experienced the agony of the Christ she loved being crucified and buried, then to hear the word, "Mary". I wanted to capture the look I imagined would be on her face as Jesus called her name; the fleeting 'look between a look', the look between astonishment and joyous rapture as she uttered the single word, "Rabboni".
