Genesis: Chapter 1
1985
By:Gabrielle Wu Lee, MD, MFA (1935-2010)
Einstein taught us E=MC^2 where C is the speed of light, expressed in distance per time. It seems that without light, there will be no definitions for space and time, hence no definitions for mass (M) and energy (E). So, ‘Let there be light’ might be a precursor for the creation/existence of the material universe.

While visiting Carlsbad Cavens, NM, Gabrielle said,
“Just like exploring a field of knowledge, we will encounter so many beautiful surpises.” The Stalactites and stalagmites were built up by drops of mineral-saturated water patiently through thousands,even millions of years.

Rocky Rainbow Chase
1989
By:Gabrielle Wu Lee, MD, MFA (1935-2010)
The Grand Canyon reveals the great dynamicity of our seemingly still Earth. The rocks were formed by layers through millions of years underwater in a marine environment; lifted up thousands of feet above sea level, then cut down by the Colorado River. We chase the colorful rainbow of rocks interacting with the shifting sunshine.
