The Universe is incomprehensibly vast, a profound mystery, it challenges our understanding at every level. Are we alone, or is life a common phenomenon maybe we are even in a matrix? Philosophers, theologians, and scientists alike grapple with these questions, exploring a spectrum of perspectives.
While looking at billions of scattered Jurassic boulders along the coast of Llantwit Major, South Wales, UK the perfect 'landscape photograph' eluded me. It was clear that there were photographs to be made here - but how?
I sat for hours contemplating the seemingly endless expanse of grey, scattered boulders. The light shifted, the tide receded, people came and went, but the rocks remained silent until my own 'big bang theory' took shape. I considered that these seemingly infinite and randomly dispersed rocks could be compared to planets. Or by perceiving planets as being akin to atoms, the concept that we are merely part of an 'atom' within a much larger 'cosmic organism' which, in itself, is part of another infinite organism took hold. With this eccentric perspective, I photographed the scene with fresh eyes.
Later, with a little intervention and a subsequent trip to capture the three billion-year-old pink rocks of Perros-Guirec in Brittany France, these divergent cosmic worlds came together. A nod to the complex interconnectedness of our planet and the vast Universe and beyond it inhabits.
In contemplating the Universe, one is reminded of Earth’s fragile balance that sustains life. While the cosmos may feel eternal and infinite, our planet faces urgent environmental challenges. Protecting this delicate harmony requires urgent action to preserve the only home we know.
