A Sanctuary can inhabit many different spaces in our lives. The term is often associated with a religious or spiritual place of reverence, or shrines. Conversely, people can also take refuge in creature comforts and carnal vices that are not so uplifting. I create sanctuaries as a meditation on the positive and negative forces that one can serve, filtered through the lens of a millennial artist with various intersectional identities, and who is a product of US society. In order to create these experiences, assembled sentimental and personal objects were used, as well as original paintings and sculpture.
