At 36, Howard Rea was searching
for what God had in mind for him.
He never expected that the answer
to his prayers lay in the diagnosis of
a brain tumor that would leave him
paralyzed. How could this debilitation
allow him to be a good father to his
three children and wife? He could no
longer provide, but would God?

Zemula Fleming’s show, “Safe Keep-

containers or shrines in which sacred
relics are kept. Some of Fleming’s
containers contain items that
symbolize an idea. Like the traditional

to something that was alive once, but
is now a memory. “Just as there are
bones of old saints sealed away, new
saints are born, and there is hope.”
