“You are my witnesses, is the utterance of Jehovah, “even my servant" whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none.
New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, Isaiah 43:10
Isaiah 43:10 serves as the cornerstone of the Jehovah's Witnesses' faith, shaping their existence and belief system. It is within this context that the photographic project "Isaiah 43:10" aims to unravel and portray the intricate and often enigmatic world of this religious community.
This project goes beyond mere visual documentation; it's a visual exploration that doesn't seek to criticize or glorify a way of life, but rather to question the role of religion in our lives. It aims to reveal the unadorned reality of living within a particular faith and the nuanced existence of its followers.
It doesn't aim to provide definitive answers or promote a particular perspective. Instead, it serves as a platform for contemplation and analysis. The objective is to present an unfiltered portrayal of the intricacies and expressions of faith within the Jehovah's Witnesses community, shedding light on the complexities, rituals, and experiences that define their reality.
