HOUSE OF GOD - 2025.

Mixed media installation (photography, poetry, performance documentation) Statement: House of God (poem) articulates the ritual drama of Southern Black worship — the moment when the sacred breaches the body. Rooted in the lineage of Black churches of the Deep South, the piece embodies the heightened state of transcendence often called “catching the Holy Ghost,” where faith and flesh blur, and divine presence becomes visible through glossolalia (speaking in tongues), possession-like movement, weeping, or altered consciousness. Here, God is not housed in the rafters of the home but dwells within those who fill it, drawn out through praise and surrender. House of God (the project) becomes both document and performance — a witness to the enduring power of communal possession, where divinity does not descend from above but rises from within.
