TOHUWABOHU

A couple of days ago I was busy uploading tons of photos to my Flickr account. This was time consuming. So inbetween waiting for the upload to complete, I doodled in my sketchbook. My mind was somewhere else, and the doodle was more or less automatic.

TOHUWABOHU
At the time I finally thought about a title what came to mind was a Viennese slang expression for confusion (I've known it since my youth but never thought it had deeper meaning). Just for fun I entered it in a search and was surprised to find Wikipedia entries both in German and English.

About the title: Tohuwabohu - German Wikipedia and Tohu wa-bohu - English Wikipedia

the German Wiki says it means Chaos - English Wiki: Chaos, The pre-condition before creation.

The English Wikipedia describes Tohu wa-bohu as such:

תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ ṯōhū wāḇōhū is a Biblical Hebrew phrase found in the Genesis creation narrative (Genesis 1:2) that describes the condition of the earth ('aretz) immediately before the creation of light in Genesis 1:3.

I played with this some more, using it as a input for creating AI images, but that will be for another time and an other community.
