ALTARA

Functional art designed to bridge ancient traditions and contemporary design, creating spaces of transformation and transcendence.

BRINGING THE TEMPLE HOME

The traditional altar is reimagined as a dynamic piece of ritual functional art, designed to live in the home and guide daily rituals.

Combining copper, quartz, and water, circuits that are activated by the energy field of the human body are created, inviting viewers to engage with unseen forces that connect us to ourselves and the environment.

Drawing inspiration from the transcendentalist movement’s emphasis on art as a medium for ritual states, Altara transcends traditional art forms, exploring how sacred spaces foster both personal reflection and collective transformation.

Intricate sacred geometry integrates with a minimalist design, blending ancient symbolism with contemporary aesthetics. At its center, a prayer box opens with a quartz key, amplifying intentions and encouraging reflection.

This work revitalizes the spaces it inhabits, creating a sanctuary for meditation, contemplation, and connection.

The accompanying Oracle Cards expand the experience, offering a playful yet profound tool for engaging participants in exploring their own meditations and rituals, inviting transformative moments of grounding and introspection through the alchemy of objects and intentions.
