Best-7
Seven-panel installation exploring belief, certainty, identity, and conviction.
Across seven interconnected panels, belief systems converge, divide, and collide.
The Best-7 is a seven-panel installation examining humanity’s search for certainty. Religious belief, secular thought, political ideology, and extremism all appear within the work as competing attempts to explain the world and define what is true.
References to Christianity, Islam, Enlightenment thought, and acts of violence exist alongside one another, not as conclusions but as evidence of the many systems through which people seek meaning, identity, purpose, and belonging.
A red form moves across the installation, changing as it encounters each panel. At times it appears unified; elsewhere it fragments, disperses, and reforms. Installed in a descending sequence, the work suggests both progression and instability, as though certainty itself is constantly being constructed, challenged, and reshaped.
Rather than arguing for a particular belief system, The Best-7 asks how convictions are formed and what happens when competing claims to truth collide.
