“The title of the project, Prophetic Kingdom, was conceived from a humble ministry I photographed in rural Delaware. Within this loose biblical framework the images give an allegorical nod towards a prophesied, postlapsarian world in which great famine plagues the earth after many years of bountiful plenty. I liked the idea of prophecy and overlooked phenomena contained within our everyday world, juxtapositions of the divine next to the mundane. The project is an ongoing photographic survey exploring this world: taken for granted objects, buildings, vehicles and signage. Here they are mostly vacant, emptied places, void of people but reeking of human presence. The photos strive to observe with clarity and without judgement man's decisions over time, what was created and what is left. What do these banal surfaces reveal about the country and in-turn about ourselves?” - Martin Buday
