The Ashes Under My Stomach, I Use As A Pillow

An unnatural modification to spiritual and religious practice to consume the inheritance of worries, fears, and pain. An altered form to absorb the weight of generations. Both ritual and a question—an unsettling immediate petition to the divine: What hasn’t been done? How much longer? In search of relief. The weathered materials used disorient the context of time, capturing a wish held within the family for countless years. Adorned with family relics, charged materials, and natural resources, carefully precisely aligned to serve as an anchor, a seal, and a call—in a continued plea for resolution.
