Birth of Conciousness 2024
Solo Exhibition at the Suomenlina Cathedral, Finland
UNESCO world hertige site
This Video installation explore the moment humanity first embraced knowledge—the act of Eve taking the apple—which birthed self-awareness and our journey toward self-reliance. This moment set into motion a cycle of independence, failure, and the deep need to reconnect with something greater—ultimately pointing to a return to God, who many find through Christ as "the way, the truth, and the life."
​
The installation is set within Suomenlinna Church, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of only three churches in the world that also functions as a lighthouse. Just as this church’s light guides those lost at sea, consciousness can be seen as a spiritual guide, leading us through our struggles and drawing us back to divine truth.
​
Through this video piece, I aim to illuminate how consciousness, rooted in knowledge and self-reliance, ultimately points us back to a higher truth—a cyclical journey of seeking and finding life’s purpose in something beyond ourselves.
