Title:
‘The Last Enemy’
Description:
Video compilation of my fine art seashell photographs set to the narration of my poem The Last Enemy, with a soundtrack of Phil Hart’s composition Treasure in Jars (used with permission). The poem links threads throughout scripture on the resurrection of the body – II Corinthians 4:7 – We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure – the literal translation being ‘Vessels made of shells’. The photographs provide a visual focus illustrating a ‘left behind’ body that will one day be raised – because Jesus was raised. In a year, where friends and relatives battled cancer, the threads of scripture on the resurrection of the body provided a source of hope and comfort.
