Specification and Future Shoot Plan

My full specification for this project title under Freedoms and Limitations is exploring the freedoms of spirituality within nature and the world vs the limiting factors of the the physical structures of the elements themselves.  Creationism solely is based on why we are here and why change occurs, which I can link back to my own spiritual connection based on my faith because this can help explore the reasons for existence.  Incorporating into this, I am interested in questioning the dimensions and depths of the realms of how far spiritual presence exists within nature by being guided by the spirit myself along this journey.  In doing this I hope to also answer the question posed as how despite spirituality in itself is freedom, many humans have lost their connection with this and rely solely on the physical, and in this project I not only want to highlight this and reconnect this lost connection, but also explore the freedoms that the elements hold and contain when suddenly they were designed and currently operated continuously by an operator that is beyond human comprehension.

By exploring the theories of creationism, outlining why change occurs in nature vs the theory of evolution, outlining how change occurs in nature, I want to tell a story of how the world was created.  By tracing these roots back, it allows us to see the reasons for change now and how human theories can be limiting as well as freeing as oppose to which theory is looked at.  Based on my previous work of photographing experience as I have shot light, I want to continue retelling the story of Genesis in the Bible through visually comparing and contrasting:

Physical vs metaphysical

Real vs Fiction

Representational vs Abstraction

Macro vs Micro

Evolutionism vs Creationism

How vs Why

In doing this I believe that I need to identify the elements in order to take photographs of and in doing this I want to show both sides of spiritual vs metaphysical stances in nature that allows us to trace back to the start of the world and therefore explains how and why the process of change in nature occurs today.  In a sense, nature is part of a system of continuous evolution that could potentially be part of a system of continuous creation.  In saying this, by looking backwards to explain how or why nature has got to where it has got, I believe that by examining these processes of change (especially spiritual), it could potentially allow fur us to see into the future as I explore this project.

Therefore as a shoot plan over Easter, I want to shoot the elements that are in order, described and told in the book of Genesis.  These elements include:

Light and Darkness

Water and land

Vegetation/Plants/Flora

Living Creatures/Animals

Humans

Over the Easter my plan is to move to each element, exploring the key concepts of how and why.  Every time I make an image I want to continue translating my own spiritual experience into my images and thus before each shoot I have decided I want to make a prayer in accordance with my shoot that I believe will allow me to  be best guided by the spirit as I am shooting.
