Genesis - Origin of Conflict

"Conflict, murder, religion vs. faith in the gospel, the city, Jesus was killed by his brothers, Jesus builds a new city of righteousness, Jesus is the offspring to come"

We decided it would be a cool idea to build a small city from cardboard boxes along the front of the stage and out in the hall. Keeping them as short as posible to not block sidescreens, musicians, etc. The boxes along the outside edges would have red paint dripped on them to represent murder and conflict but also God's redeeming blood. The boxes in the center would have white paint dripped on them to represent purification. Windows and doors will be cut from each of the boxes, we're thinking a light shining from the center boxes, maybe a portrayal of heaven or redemption.

Here are some of the pictures we used for inspiration including a digital sketch of the idea:


Here are some photos of the process and construction:



Here is the final result, there were different setups at each venue:



Finally, we got to have a little fun with the project afterward. First, stacking them as high as we could and then piling them up and jumping into them like a pile of leaves:
