The piece I chose to interpret was... David Maisel Terminal Mirage 3 2003 Pigment Print, 2012 This photo reminds me of the flood story in the bible because it is this immense landscape of blue watery substance mimicking the entire earth that was covered with water. The white "contrail" like path of some vehicle divides the composition through the middle and reminds me of the water disturbance that a large ship or cruise liner would make. Much like it would look like if the ark were traveling through the image to the mountain. The contrail starts at the bottom of the picture in a deep violet color that is almost black and transitions to this rich blue color throughout. Symbolizing the ark coming to light after the state of darkness which it was held in by Yahweh during the flood. As for what I think about if David was influenced by the bible in any way while creating this work of art. I highly doubt it. It's possible but looking at his other pictures, I dont think he was influenced by the bible. These photos were documentations of highly polluted landscapes here on earth. They are meant to make you think about yourself and consider your contribution to the world. As these pictures are of pollution which surprisingly comes from the process of creating products that we use on the daily. They are beautiful yet horrifying at the same time. Complex stuff...
