Have you ever traveled to a place so exquisitely arranged that you found yourself surrounded by stunning natural beauty, causing you to wonder if such splendor could have formed merely by chance? Do these elements arise naturally, or could it be possible that our world was designed and created by someone?

“IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH”

As a child, I often pondered how our world came into existence. Growing older, I encountered numerous scientific theories explaining the origins of our planet, yet none could definitively prove their accuracy.

But there exists a book, the best-selling book in the world, translated into many languages—the Bible. Comprising 66 books, its first is titled ‘Genesis.’

Genesis 1:1 writes, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” This verse speaks of God’s creation of the world in six days. Through studying and understanding each verse, this photo essay was born.

‘Genesis’: The Creation of Our World by God

It emerged… it exists… it fades away.

What can be seen clearly may not always be understood emotionally.

Ascend, exist, perish…
Objects, places, and spirits… time is always passing, and we can’t really tell how long things can last. Unknowingly, things may be fading away at any moment. But everything we have come across has something we can experience differently as an individual through the way we see, interact and touch. From what one particular thing is or could be at a particular time, to the process of self-reflection that occurs along the way, things seem to change or fade away in one’s memories.

There are certain things that people experience collectively, which can also be varied by the difference in time at which the experience unfolds. The artist uses black and white film photographs and photography techniques, including darkroom processes, to convey viewers’ perspectives and to reveal discernible, tactile meanings of how things emerge, sustain, and cease to exist. The process is reliant on each viewer’s personal anecdotes, helping them express the stories of their interactions with the photographs.
