The Moment Of The Creation

by Igor Zenin · 2006

A luminous figure hangs in starlit space, arms spread wide, while two lesser spirits trail fire and cool light down toward a small blue world cradled in cloud. One reaches from the left in a wash of pale blue, the other from the right wrapped in flame-orange, both bending toward the same glowing planet as if delivering it into being. A blood-red moon streaks past in the distance, caught mid-arc like it too is being placed into orbit. The Moment Of The Creation stages the birth of a world as something tended to by hand, not simply switched on.
