“My Invisible Truth” is a project reflecting the identity of humanity through its faith and trust in the unseen spiritual world. It displays the encounter of culture, community and the intimacy of individual faith. Through this work, I want to explore the impact faith has today on the lives of individuals, as well as on entire communities around the world.
Believing in someone greater than oneself shifts the perspective from me, myself and I to the substantial and omnipotent. The letting go of oneself as the most important being stands however in strong contrast to the society we are living in today, promoting gadgets and lifestyles which are solely focused on the reflection of the ego, personal striving and benefit.
The older I get the more I realise the lack of unity in humanity. Right now we are collectively experiencing where this can lead to. We need each other, and as humans, I believe we were created to live in relationship with one another.
How can we start becoming one, without losing the beauty of our uniqueness and differences, rather than causing more and more reason for separation and isolation? In the world we live in today, built upon different power structures and ideologies, with people of extreme diversity in personality, cultural background and belief, are we still able to find unity through and in faith?
In a world where we put so much importance on the visual aspect of our existence, what is our relationship with the invisible one? How does it affect us and how do we affect it?
This project is an ongoing quest to help answer these questions and provide insight into the multifaceted world of faith.
