True identity leads us home.

Sacred Streets sees the unseen people of our neighborhoods through the process of portrait making. In face-to-face connections, each person’s essential characteristics are drawn and etched onto meaningful objects, with saint-like symbolism. This slow method of making portraits has a track recored of providing vulnerable people with the vision to choose a more life-giving path. 

Finished portraits are exhibited on the street level in temporary sacred spaces, using materials that symbolize the journey of each person. Audiences have been moved to tears and ultimately a change of perspective when surrounded by a story that reveals the sacredness of the overlooked places and people of our streets.
