Sancta Remedia

“LIFE IS A TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW”—ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN’T FIND A CURE FOR WHAT’S HAPPENING TO YOUR BODY. WHEN MODERN MEDICINE OFFERS NO ANSWERS TO WHY MY BODY FEELS THIS WAY, I TURN TO THE SPIRITUAL TRADITION OF MILAGROS. IN THIS COLLECTION, I’VE CREATED MY OWN SAINT: SAINT ESTELA OF THE PILLS.

 

DRAWING FROM THE INSPIRATION OF MILAGROS AS AMULETS AND OFFERINGS FOR DIVINE INTERVENTION, I CRAFT THESE OBJECTS AS BOTH TRIBUTE AND PLEA—SEEKING HEALTH, RELIEF FROM CHRONIC PAIN, AND THE MIRACLE OF SIMPLY LIVING. BY TRANSFORMING MYSELF INTO A SAINT, I RECLAIM AGENCY IN A BODY THAT OFTEN FEELS BEYOND MY CONTROL.
