Manhattan:
The Sacred In Plain Sight
About This Project
The idea for this project came from a parking sign. All around the city, there are parking signs that say 'No Parking', but right below it, you read 'Except Sunday'.
Photography freezes what most of us skim past, the church looking house, or the ‘Except Sunday’ parking rule that clears our streets.
Using photography, this project answers the question, "If we stopped on the sidewalk and actually looked around, how much religion would we find around us that shapes our daily life?"
This project includes references to Theological theories from:
Work Pray Code: When Work Becomes Religion in Silicon Valley By Carolyn Chen
A Black Theology of Liberation By James H. Cone
