These devotional images are not critiqued or treated as sacred objects, but observed simply as artifacts of an exhausted practice. Adopting the perspective of a hypothetical future archive, this series organizes the specimens into rigorous plates. Viewed from this distance, the holy cards lose their original spiritual function and become inactive objects.
The work investigates a clear contradiction: the promise of a unique spiritual experience contrasted with the reality of mass industrial production. Within a strict grid structure, the differences between the various images dissolve, transforming into a repetitive sequence and a cold visual inventory.
The project functions as a catalog of obsolete items. The devotional cards cease to act as windows to the divine, revealing themselves simply for what they are: mass-produced paper artifacts.
