In “Theology of Wonder”, Ashleigh Coleman explores both the vulnerability of nature and evolution of time and place. In January of 2016, when the Mississippi River flooded its banks and crept miles inland to Rodney, Mississippi – a vacated town that was once three votes from being the state’s capital – Coleman was compelled to see the phenomenon herself. Carrying a Hasselblad 500 c/m and wearing borrowed waders, she cautiously crept into the floodwaters as dawn broke.

What had become familiar to her on land was now foreign and mysterious in water. Then, as quickly and quietly as the river’s water appeared, one day it was gone—back to the confines of its banks.

In Coleman’s words: “I am not the first to watch in wonder as the water rises, nor will I be the last.”
