Seeing The Sacred - Photographed for Interfaith Photovoice / Fetzer Institute

Documenting the Sacred in the Everyday

In the summer of 2024, I partnered with Interfaith Photovoice and the Fetzer Institute, to visually explore how religion, faith, and spirituality reveal themselves in daily life. While these deeply personal elements shape the lives of many, they often remain unseen in public and communal spaces, workplaces, and city streets.

At the heart of this project was a question: Where does sacredness live in the ordinary? Guided by a series of reflective prompts, I created photographs that explore how belief and meaning surface in quiet rituals, objects, moments, and everyday interactions.

This body of work is a visual reflection on the interplay between the spiritual and the mundane, an attempt to make visible the reverence often hidden in plain sight. This project is not intended to represent any one belief system, but to honor the deeply personal ways people express the sacred in their lives.
