Genesis

“Genesis” is a collection inspired by the origins of humankind through the lens of Christianity. It reflects not only sacred scripture but also the urgency for spiritual guidance in today’s world. My own journey began in 2024, after a long period of depression and anguish, when I first read the Book of Genesis. I felt an unexpected comfort wash over me, as though a weight had lifted. In that moment, I knew I had to create a collection inspired by the word of God.

​

As someone new to spirituality, this series became both a study of His word and of myself. Having grown up atheist/agnostic, I wrestled with questions and conflicts around faith. These tensions appear in the early paintings, such as “Genesis I (In the Beginning),” where abstraction dominates over direct scripture, reflecting my struggle with acceptance. By the time I reached “Genesis V (From Adam to Noah),” I sensed transformation—beginning to see myself within the narrative. A close confidant even remarked that my figures resembled self-portraits, suggesting I had unknowingly inscribed my own image into the story.

My hope is that each viewer, in their own way, can reflect on what spirituality means to them and how it shapes their lives. I believe spiritual guidance is essential to humanity—without it, we risk drifting through the world without purpose or connection.
