My work is based on a passage from the Bible, “The Tower of Babel.” In which humans built a tower to challenge and be like the Divine. These were the only actions of human kind to challenge the Divine without the science and technologies we have today. The attempt by the humans to build the highest rising tower towards God resulted catastrophe where people were separated by different languages. In comparison, the process to have better standard of living and for the advancement of human kind will result in a similar way. While we are focusing solely on development of technology and quality of our lives, we face imminent and present danger. These challenges to the Divine, to be-like the Divine has caused serious problems in human history and that very same act will result in “Extermination of human kind and other creatures”. I want to adopt the ideas of Tower of Babel to present day as “Arrogance of humanity” and “Imminent and present danger.”
