Born From The Sea

Born From The Sea is a photographic narrative which challenges the profound question of ‘where do we come from?’ Both science and religion provide contrasting explanations. There is a paradox between the theories of Evolution vs the theory of Creationism. I have chosen monochrome as a visual metaphor: the contrast between darkness and brightness represents existential dualities. Science and Creationism collide with each other in the quest for truth. I have chosen natural geological forms as an ambiguous representation of the theme. I want to challenge the viewer to question “what am I really looking at here”. To keep the possibility open that scientific theories may not be the whole truth. “And God said; Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in open firmament of heaven.” Genesis 1:20 "The laws of physics, not the will of God, provide the real explanation as to how life on Earth came into being.” Stephen Hawking
