Presence as Art.

Sanctuary is a moving portrait series exploring presence as a universal human need.

At a time when our attention is endlessly pulled outward—toward screens, headlines, etc.—Sanctuary offers a quiet counterpoint: single moments of stillness, ritual, art, or movement, each unfolding in real time, free from performance or narrative.

The work invites viewers to pause long enough to feel the weight and beauty of ordinary moments—those often overlooked, yet carrying their own quiet significance. Neither religious nor doctrinal, Sanctuary honors the sacred quality of the everyday, offering only an invitation: to slow down, to witness, to remember what it means to be fully present.

Because presence takes countless forms, these portraits can live anywhere—flickering across Times Square, glowing on museum walls, or appearing in unexpected public spaces—each a gentle pause in the noise.

Where is my sanctuary?
And how often do I go there?
