Immediately when I hear the word faith I associate it with ambiguity. It comes from the perception that faith explains the ambiguity of religion and of this world. This ambiguity is the unclear cauldron of the unexplainable mandates that govern many people's lives. I am alluding to the way that many religions utilize faith as a justification of the convictions and lifestyles presented and pressured upon followers. However, from within this cauldron of uncertainty emerges that which is defined and accepted through progressive scientific communities as fact and theory. Unfortunately the coexistence of these two disciplines of faith, one that views it as an explainer and one that views it as an assumption of more to understand, is seldom fluid and often held by fragile tolerance.
It is exactly these ideas that I hoped to communicate through this purely vector work. The very technical components of the jutting spires and layered mechanism represent the scientific use of faith while the fading and jumbled drips represent the religious use of faith. In between they are separated by a thing dashed line that separates while concurrently allowing an interchange of ideas and minds. The choice of vectors reveals something about how I view the debate and conflict, that underlying everything there is a mathematical equation that rationalizes everything. |
