How do we relate to the divine and the unknown? Do we see the world around us conspiring for our growth, benefit, and self-actualization? Or are we fearful of the future, of others, and what might happen should we let our guards down? What happens when we die? Are we just momentarily self-aware matter or is there a deeper tapestry of connection with something outside of us?

This piece explores the way we organize our inner worlds at its most fundamental level. In its most basic form, this is a question of how we relate to God. This artwork explores this idea with a large word sign made of three simple letters: G-o-d. Behind the sign is a room displaying letters from across religions, geographies, and languages to ask the simple and complex question of, in practice, what does God mean to you? From fundamentalists to atheists, Christians to Muslims, Hindus to Buddhists, and indigenous groups to college campuses, all are invited to share their beliefs.

Taking its name from the Ancient Chinese practice of using the number of 10,000 to represent infinity, this work tracks the infinite faces of the divine. It’s designed as an open inquiry without an agenda or preconceived notions. It's a global pulse check on the reality of our collective lived experience of how we organize consciousness. This is the 10,000 faces of God.

Dragon King suggested a Japanese Torii Gate as the entrance to camp as they represent the transition from the everyday world into the sacred, in this case the transition to The Sacred Yes. The Snarchitect—with his obession with Taoism, Buddhism, and Eastern philosophy—immediately got fired up on this idea. When I mentioned this to Ranger Twilight, he said he always wanted to see a good Torii Gate on playa and, serendipitously, had sketches from many years prior. That's how you know an idea is resonant.
