Description

The biblical passage Genesis 1:5 refers to the creation of the world, Chapter 1, verse 5 that loosely translates to 'God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.' The black gestural drawing surrounding the red disc at the center of the image suggests the sun’s kinetic energy. Keeler created explosive movement around a red ball, thus presenting the genesis of our planet. Gasses and dust particles swirl around a young developing sun, which eventually form planet Earth and her moon after countless collisions between dust particles, asteroids, and other growing planets.
