Prophets
Bodies die yet words remain. Why are some remembered yet others forgotten?
This ongoing project will be unveiled at an exhibition in 2025 in Cervera del Maestre, Spain. At its core is the concept of the immortality of words yet the frailty of the body. The prophets chosen are predominately ones which appear in all three Abrahamic religions, in an attempt to show the common roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, an idea which I feel is especially needed in our current climate of conflict. The use of the chest stems from a line in a poem by Rumi, which talks of God living within his chest, but also relates back to my previous project, Cave (see The Book of Journeys), which examined the chest as a metaphor for sanctuary.
