CosmogΩny

Experienced in Iceland (gΩnia=corner in Greek), CosmogΩny is a landscape of transition, human and surrounding. Photography, in black and white, encapsulates the sporadic meetings of people in vast landscapes, like nomads encountering life in a post-apocalyptic scenario. The overpowering of nature over civilization allows for dialects of evolution, exposing possibilities and re-touching the sense of what can be felt as a wildlife experience, a metaphysics of abandonment, a challenge to stand alone, in a scale that can be met by people wandering and sensing the boundless sky, the spare land around them. In CosmogΩny, reality is rattled by a sense of the dreamy, the human eye recalibrates in a simple yet unreal cosmos, earth is reinstituted as a planet more than our own, an archetypical place to be explored and reframe our senses, like a colony of solitude amidst a noisy universe, like an oasis of silence. In this sci-fi reality of grand scales, where science is overshadowed by a sense of a supreme nature, gradually rises an ode to human persistence, a call for gathering and celebrating community, creating interconnected particles, human unions, in a land that trembles.
