Michael Aaron Hall, FNSS

On November 22, Michael Aaron Hall’s First Vision monument was installed at Temple Square in Salt Lake City, UT.  The sculpture depicts a young boy looking up to God and Jesus Christ and asking spiritual questions while seeking faith and hope. Hall hopes that the monument resonates with viewers and brings them peace and happiness. “When I was creating the face of God, it was a very humbling undertaking because I tried to create something … anybody could connect to, so there are elements of all [humankind] in both the face of God and Christ,” he said.  First Vision is just one part of the five-and-a-half year redevelopment of Temple Square which features several sculptures based on the Bible.
