PS23 - Bugambilias, 2022
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Our spiritual lives consist of conversations that oftentimes contain more silence than dialogue. They are full of quiet moments that deepen our faith and strengthen our spiritual connection to the world around us. They are the “behind the scenes” that shape our existence.
The material in which these images are presented (ripped-out pages of the Bible) represent the expected and traditional ways in which we have learned to experience spirituality in the context of religion. The images represent the moments of silence and solitude in which we don't necessarily expect to have a moment of revelation or encounter with something greater than ourselves, yet we are met there. While they are sometimes one and the same, these moments are not always shared simultaneously.
These images juxtapose the expected (and unexpected) ways in which I have encountered God in these quiet, still moments.
