Embodied Faith

Embodied Faith examines the tensions between organized religion and the bodies it seeks to govern. This series explores how many faith traditions - while rooted in community and spiritual guidance - also carry structures of shame, purity culture, and othering that shape how individuals understand themselves, their identities, and their desires.

Through imagery that intersects religion and sexuality, the work interrogates the hypocrisy often embedded within these systems: the simultaneous fixation on the body and condemnation of it, the demand for devotion alongside the policing of autonomy, the promise of spiritual freedom paired with strict moral restraint.

Embodied Faith seeks to unravel these contradictions, highlighting how individuals navigate the push and pull between personal truth and institutional doctrine. The series invites viewers to reconsider where faith ends, where control begins, and how the body becomes the battleground between the two.
