My Christian faith and belief in God is at the very core of my identity. In a hectic world full of doubt, fear and anxiety, I aim to pause, open my eyes and recognize that God is with me. The recognition of this truth brings the freedom, peace and comfort that can only come from knowing our Creator. “God With Us” is a visual storytelling of the Genesis creation story, with each photograph representing a different element of creation throughout the seven days. From the most minute detail of a flower to the seemingly infinite expansiveness of the ocean or sky, the existence and character of God is evident all around us. We can see him and find him in the very earth we roam day in and day out. He isn’t a secret hidden from us and hasn’t abandoned us, but instead makes his presence known and reveals himself daily as the sun rises to illuminate his creation. Inspired by Pete Turner’s bold color palette and Rinko Kawauchi’s divine visual mood, this series highlights the numerous ways we can find an intangible God in the tangible as well as the complexity of his character that is mirrored in the complexity of his creation. From hues that highlight his strength and power to creatures that highlight his beauty and grace, creation screams out to us loudly and clearly that God is with us.
