Through exploration of Catholic iconography, queer history, and self image, my work seeks to reconcile religious and childhood trauma. Having distanced myself from organized religion, I've been on a years-long journey to cultivate a spirituality that revolves around my own selfhood. This exploration has materialized in my recent artwork, where I delve into the intersection of sexuality and the residual effects of religious guilt. Recognizing how queer affinity can serve as a conduit for spirituality and a catalyst for creative expression, I’ve forged intimate and platonic relationships with the people in my community. The confidence, compassion, and connection I have received through these bonds have unearthed facets of myself that were previously buried beneath years of shame. Embracing a new, confident identity as a sacred slut, I've found a sense of holiness and purpose that my Catholic upbringing failed to instill. Articulating this revelation through my interdisciplinary work has not only provided me with a unique, other spirituality but has also allowed me to dedicate my creative pursuits to self-discovery and the higher powers inherent in my synthesized cult of self.
