| The Split the Sea series is inspired by the Biblical story of Exodus. In particular I am interested in the path through the sea that allows the people to traverse the raging waters on dry land. According to Biblical commentary, walking through the sea can be a metaphor for holding/balancing opposing views in the mind simultaneously. It is this idea that intrigues me. I believe this is the true spiritual task of our times—to be able to countenance opposing views without losing one’s balance—keeping the sides separate yet together. |
