This digital image, printed on velvet, captures a performance that unfolded within a long- term immersive installation. As the installation had to be taken down, it was filled with water, reflecting imagery of baptismal and holy water fonts, to enact a fictional funerary and burial ritual I created based on medieval hermit enclosure texts and funerary practices. The water was collected in glass holy water bokles, serving as a conduit between the sacred and the everyday. Subsequently, the artwork itself was destroyed, its ashes preserved as a testament to the cyclical nature of creation and destruction. The choice of velvet pays homage to the curtains used in iconostasis in Orthodox churches that separate the nave from the sanctuary or are used to create a portable icon wall, enveloping the viewer in a tactile and contemplative experience.
