GOD The creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the Supreme Being.The Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe. We choose to believe in God or not. Belief is the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise to be true.
Religion is a cultural system that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and moral values. Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the universe. They tend to derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle from their ideas about the cosmos and human nature. There are 20 major religions listed in the world. DEITY A deity is a recognized preternatural or supernatural immortal being, who may be thought of as holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, and respected by believers, often religiously referred to as a god. Deities are depicted in a variety of forms, but are also frequently expressed as having human form. Some faiths and traditions consider it blasphemous to imagine or depict the deity as having any concrete form. They are usually immortal, and are commonly assumed to have personalities and to possess consciousness, intellects, desires, and emotions similar to those of humans. Such natural phenomena as lightning, floods, storms, other ‘acts of God’, and miracles are attributed to them, and they may be thought to be the authorities or controllers of various aspects of human life (such as birth or the afterlife). Some deities are asserted to be the directors of time and fate itself, to be the givers of human law and morality, to be the ultimate judges of human worth and behavior, and to be the designers and creators of the Earth or the universe.
THESIS Theologians and philosophers have ascribed a number of attributes to God, including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. God has been described as incorporeal, a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable being existent.

People’s home is one of the biggest part in their lives. It comes along with routine and everyday life basis. Things that surround us are practical and functional and have a particular role. Everyday life objects are functional. Function is power. Power is God.

ANTITHESIS is a counter-proposition and denotes a direct contrast to the original proposition. In setting the opposite, an individual brings out a contrast in the meaning (e.g., the definition, interpretation, or semantics) by an obvious contrast in the expression. What happens when things stop functioning? It looses it’s power. That is exact moment when we stop worhiping them. They are rejected by us.
Exploring I went to Hackney Wick to see what kind of rejected things I might find. I have explored a big plot of that area while looking for things. I have found many pieces of broken furniture and all sorts of other everyday life objects.
These are few of the many objects I collected to take photographs of. They were broken and abandoned with trash.
I have found several chairs that were still functioning, although quite old and bruised. I wanted to create an image that would have a human feel to it.
I was inspired by ballet dance as it creates very surreal atmosphere around it to draw a chair with the dancers (human) body that could possibly symbolize a good of balance as both of them - ballet dancer and a chair are well balanced.
After taking the photographs I have used my hand to draw the missing parts or the text and overlay it on the photograph.
A POISON TREE by: William Blake (1757-1827) WAS angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears; And I sunnèd it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright; And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine, And into my garden stole, When the night had veiled the pole: In the morning glad I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
Rejected Gods - broken pieces of furniture or other goods we use deserve another chance, because when they function - they are all to us.
