His series documents industrial agriculture's obsession with monoculture and large-scale farming across Europe and the US. The title isn't a religious reference, but instead intended to comment on how we now play creator, conquering and manipulating plants in "unnatural" ways.

"Nowadays the landscape is dominated by industrial interests," he says. "It's not God creating new genetic species, but humans."

The series was released as a photo book earlier this year and features images taken throughout Europe—from German tree nurseries to giant Spanish greenhouses. Spohler also spent several weeks in California's Central Valley, wandering from Sacramento south to the Mexican border. His landscapes are washed in colorful hues and and show crops growing in orderly, almost surreal, rows. Alternating between open terrain showing the enormity of modern industrial farming and detail shots focusing on the repetitiveness of monoculture, Spohler hope the work has a sci-fi edge.

"I want a fictional quality that is reality based as a way to draw people into what can be a difficult discussion about these crops," he says.
