There are
manufacts which are able to identify a portion of space as out of ordinary.
Sacred
Spaces is a series of shrines, or altars, able to define the portion of space
they contain as special, holy.
A place
beyond humans’ comprehension but within their belief and adoration. Frames able
to trace a threshold between a specific place and a wider dimension of time and
space. Circumscribed areas beneath a magic roof able to evoke the holy within
their borders and transfer the attributes of sacre to their content. New skies
to establish a connection with something beyond ourselves. Sacred Space is a
possible series of frames of various dimensions, from the scale of a small
pavilion to the one of a tabernacle, able to identify the spaces they contain
as sacred.
