Mapping our finite striving for immortality

From Luke’s Journal 2022 | Technology | Vol.27 No.2
The photos are from a body of work, CHRONOS, that was published in the British Journal of Photography and exhibited in Melbourne some years back.
Each examines a specific attempt by men and women to map their life and times. It is a natural response to explore, define and compartmentalise our world. From this we gain security and satisfaction.
But our efforts are frozen in the continuum of time, CHRONOS. They map and define our finite striving for immortality, which may only be found in a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
This last photo features a photomultiplier tube from a gamma camera used in nuclear medicine.
The tube detects gamma rays emitted from the body and converts them into an image of organ function.
