DESCRIPTION

This work is a documentation of my search for spiritual truth, inspired by places of thoughtful reflection and solitude such as the Rothko Chapel and the grand cathedrals in Europe. The space promotes a feeling of isolation in front of something overwhelming, and the glorification of the people in our lives who influence our moral values and interpretation of God.

This is a private space where I look deep into myself, seeking answers to questions I gave up asking long ago-- for a persons spiritual journey is intensely personal despite attempts to package and mass market it. Everyone struggles with the meaning of faith and the existence of God; this is a glimpse at my exploration.
