Artist's Comments

For this piece i wanted to juxtapose the two very opposite ideas of evolution and religion. I wanted to make this piece in black and want, using a lot of gradients, to both emphasize the evolution of black to white, and as to not take away from the importance of the symbols. To make sure the focus was the symbol i tried to keep the rest of the imagery simple as well. The words at the top of each poster, are the words for god, in each of the respective religions base languages. I then used the symbols that the religions are now currently most easily identified with. This is to illustrate that essentially all of the religions started in the same place and the only real difference were a few details, but now they are so widely split, which is illustrated in the different symbols. Also the arrangement of the posters is important, the judaism and muslim posters, seperated by the christianity poster is symbolic of todays middle east conflict.

I myself am a Christian...and an advocate for religious tolerance and dialogue. I am moved to see this. It is perhaps my favorite piece I've seen on here in ages.

thank you. personally I'm agnostic but would like to see greater tolerance in the world. I'm glad you enjoy it.

You deserve the recognition, man. And I don't blame you for being agnostic. Religion itself can be hectic and people have the right to believe what they want. I study history and theology constantly and I truly see the fact that there is good in all religions.

ya, especially these days there is just so much confusion. in my opinion they're all so similar, the only differences are dates and details. but essentially they all meld together and share stories that i dont know how there is so much strife over it all. heres to hopes of better times.

Indeed, brother.
