The Birth of A Universe Collection Part 9.

This very personal collection was designed as a series of windows that look at fragments of family ancestry and present. Over 1,200 separate digital images have been copied, resized and combined to recreate religious metaphors and visual stories of heritage. The images individually portray family, friends, found objects, and illustrations, which are transferred and sealed onto gold leaf. The materials and shapes are used to taint the windows from perfect digital compositions and give viewers the eyes of long forgotten Central American relatives; a viewpoint of the future from the past; an allusion of deep space with both static and free objects that are architectural, stoic, and time-honored.
