Spirit House (details)

Threshold: Spirit House is a stop-motion video installation housed within a wrapped frame that recreates a spirit house frommy family home, a sacred space I engaged with daily. This personal memory forms the crux of the installation, symbolizing how sacred spaces encapsulate layered, multifaceted experiences. The animation, which zooms in and out of the altar, employs portals as recurring motifs to signify the unveiling of hidden truths and deeper realities.
