This series presents an exploration of altars through sitios alterados. Reframed as “altered pieces,” the works attempt to render a complicated spirituality of Christian roots entangled with secular perspectives while also resisting trendy representations of spiritual woo. Considering how altars serve multiple ritual functions at once, from sacrifices and offerings to exalting multiple entities in prayer and memorialization, these altered pieces present "imperfect offerings" devoted to various people, places, and abstractions. Gestures for prosperity are troubled by connotations of the American Dream as bullshit. Legacies of colonialism burden devotional symbolism. Living and deceased loved ones are summoned for redemption together. Memorialization is active presence, time is a watch without a clock, and ashes invoke carcinogens and emptied bodies alike. Pieces of nature cleared to make the works serve as ritual sacrifices, and transfiguration is dually offered and unattainable via wine in vessels made of raw clay. Each altar carries a prayer coded in its title, conjured in your own recitation.
