SEVEN – The Biblical Creation Story
The installation SEVEN unfolds in seven glass steles that stand like luminous gateways within the space. Each stele is composed of three layered glass panels, inscribed with engravings, layers of color, and fragments of biblical text. Through this interplay, a spatial depth emerges that points beyond the material and invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a poetic multilayeredness.
The work visualizes the seven days of the Creation story without illustrating them in a didactic way. Instead, it opens a meditative resonance space: scriptures appear and dissolve, colors refract in the glass, light continuously transforms the work. The biblical narrative is not fixed but remains in motion—just as the act of creation itself is a process that carries becoming and passing, order and vitality.
In the transparency and overlapping of image, text, and space, the invisible becomes visible. Glass as a material speaks of fragility and transparency, yet also of clarity and permanence. The layered composition evokes the interweaving of nature, spirit, and art. Language, signs, and painting meet here in an open dialogue that can be not only seen but also sensed.
Within a sacred space, the installation unfolds its full resonance: the steles stand like a rhythm in the architecture, interacting with light and structure, inviting viewers to walk among them, to pause, and to reflect in silence. SEVEN is not an illustration of the Creation story, but rather a contemporary transformation—translating the power of the biblical words into a visual language of today.
The installation also raises questions for the present: How do we perceive creation today? What responsibility do we bear for it? As viewers become part of the mirrored surfaces and layered images, the work reminds us that humanity itself belongs to this creation—with all its fragility and its creative potential.
