A selection of images from “Creation Story,” by Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based photographer and designer Aaron Canipe (previously featured here). Describing the series as “a kind of biblical genesis story with some earthly hangups,” Canipe explores the concept of our beginnings with a collection of observations in the form of black-and-white photographs. “Seen through the lens of the South, this edit of work takes the viewer through a cosmological and primordial journey of a world created by a divinity disrupted,” he elaborates. “Dinosaurs, snakes hanging by wires, scorched library books, and a skeletal Jesus show an underlying Christian arc to a version of a story about the world around us.”
