Altar Hoodies

Idol of Destiny Three Mouths Amerindian sculpture, piece of architectural decoration attributed to the natives of Central America and which represents a mouth hungry for life at dawn, at noon and at dusk, correlated with the destiny of each of us at birth, when growing up and at to age. Perhaps the obvious realization through this ancestral art that we appear in the world and then leave!

Those left behind are comforted by constructing a reenactment of a fun celebration with their deceased loved-ones. A party atmosphere is created to help ease the pain of grief, and rather than focusing on sad memories, happy memories are conjured up.

A day of the dead altar always contains skulls and skeletons to represent dearly departed family members. Death in all is horror is confronted head-on in this Mexican festival of the dead.

Sometimes the Day of the Dead altar will represent how the deceased met their end, for example, in a car accident.

Favorite alcoholic drinks of the departed are featured in Día de los Muertos ofrendas (altars)

The fear of death is confronted head-on in the Mexican celebration of Día de los Muertos. There is no covering up of the fact that our flesh falls away and we are reduced to bones and dust. Deceased family members are not represented in how they looked in life, but rather as how they now look as they rest in their graves.

Mementos of the life and passions of the dead are often represented in elaborate reconstructions of a favorite activity or pastime, such as a day's outing to the beach in the car.

Marigolds bring color and joy to the Day of the Dead Altar. The celebration is one of joy rather than sadness.

Our Ancestors know us at our best and our worst, but love us for who we truly are no matter what. They appreciate your attention to them, just as you appreciate their support in all things spiritual.

In architecture, a portico is the covered place at the entrance to a building, a temple or a palace. It can extend along a colonnade, with a structure covering a walkway raised by columns or enclosed by walls.

Day of the Dead altars characterize the lives of the deceased, using favorite mementos and favorite food and drink of dead family members.

In remembering family and friends who have died, there's a chance that some tequila may be imbibed. Even the deceased may experience a bit of a hangover.

Day of the Dead altars (Dia de los Muertos Ofrendas) are erected by family members in early November to remember and memorialize family members and friends who have passed away.

People sometimes die around a significant event in their lives, such as a recent wedding. The living may memorialize such a sad passing by recreating the deceased bride in her wedding dress.

Death is frequently imagined as a personified force. In some mythologies, a character known as the Grim Reaper (usually depicted as a berobed skeleton wielding a scythe) causes the victim's death by coming to collect that person's soul. https://www.redbubble.com/people/Saraahdesign/shop

Tripod photograph of the Raitenhaslach monastery church

This piece I wanted to create the feel of a mystical and sacred ritual taking place. A place out of time where anything could happen and reality is what you make of it.

A view of the interior of Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris. It is one of the most notable and most recognizable structures in Paris. Notre-Dame de Paris (meaning "Our Lady of Paris", also known as Notre-Dame Cathedral or simply Notre-Dame) is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Isle de la Cite in the fourth arrondissement of Paris. The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, and is among the largest and most well-known church buildings in the world. The naturalism of its sculptures and stained glass are in contrast with earlier Romanesque architecture. As the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame contains the cathedra of the Archbishop of Paris (Cardinal Andre Vingt-Tr...
