The Big Crunch

Sänpäkkilä Sami

The imagery of the installation The Big Crunch communicates the presence of humans on earth, evolution and human intelligence. All images are carefully arranged according to the divine proportions. We see images that represent poetically and metaphorically the beginning of mathematical innovations to the projected end of the world, the big crunch. Our observations and our learning shape the universe into being; time is a creation of our minds; laws are generated by our thoughts and conclusions.
