ORIGINS OF CREATION / HEALING HUMAN ROOTS
In his visual work, Simeon focuses the lens on healing individually experienced abuse and exploring humankind’s trauma across psychological, physiological, socio-economical, cultural and spiritual planes. He creates a unity with Self, surrendering to the process and helping participants expose themselves and experience this merging with the larger Source and consciousness. In this way, this work becomes more than a personal endeavour, and creates a community and larger purpose for this Earth.
The images submitted are taken from Simeon's latest body of work titled “Origins of Creation – Healing Human Roots“. It is a multidimensional story about the origins of creation itself and the Source where all existence arises from. It is a collection of works exploring consciousness and healing through several different series including “Naked Nature” and “Healing”. It explores the relationship between the decline in mental health and the current spiritual crisis that can be observed in the Western world, whilst offering guidance in how we can reclaim connection to the powerful Source of creation.
