About Genesis, Eden & Adams
Genesis, Eden & Adams is a triptych that explores a bridge as both structure and sanctum, a place where architecture becomes a vessel for reflection. Each image is a meditation on origin, transformation, and return, charting a visual pilgrimage from form to spirit, from abstraction to intimacy.
Created after an eleven-year pause from fine art, the series marks Chan’s return to photography with renewed clarity of vision. The bridge becomes both subject and metaphor, a crossing from absence into presence, from silence back into creation.
Genesis presents the bridge in pure symmetry, a testament to origin and design.
Eden veils the structure in fog, dissolving it into light and atmosphere, suspended between earth and sky.
Adams returns to the ground, where men gather by the water’s edge. Their quiet rituals of fishing echo the artist’s own act of seeing, casting lines not for sustenance but for stillness.
Together, the three works form a narrative of sanctuary and renewal. The series reflects Chan’s enduring pursuit of tranquility, offering not a record of the world as it is, but a vision of what it might become still, reverent, and profoundly human.
