Collaboration with C. M. Ruiz for Live With Animals‘s “NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY” group show for the final Monster Island block party.

After designing the general layout with Carlos, I focused on creating three “relics” for our shrine. In addition to a Sacred Heart icon portrait of my friend Seva inspired by a bike accident last fall, I constructed an exit sign light box and chandelier to mimic and modernize the Byzantine and Islamic artifacts of the Hagia Sophia.

Carlos and I also designed small “prayer cards” as giveaways for the project.
