Reflections from the Work

Short essays drawn from the creative and research process behind our images and videos.

Many reflections explore material culture—the objects, tools, architecture, and customs of daily life from biblical antiquity through the late medieval period. These essays examine how bread was blessed, how arches were carved, how candles were made, and how the ordinary work of human hands became woven into sacred tradition.

These are not arguments or analyses—just quiet notes formed during the work itself. Some are born from historical research in sacred art, biblical Israel, and the lives of the saints. Others emerge while refining a biblical scene, decoding symbolism in medieval Catholic paintings, or discerning the meaning of gesture, posture, and form in traditional iconography.

They are written for those drawn to Christian symbolic meaning in sacred art, or who simply value silence, craft, and faith in visual form—for those who believe that even in a digital world, devotional Catholic art grounded in Scripture and tradition still matters.
