Sabrina and I worked on a video project called SANCTUS deep in the belly of the early pandemic that relied heavily on pieced together footage recorded at a distance, so we thought it would be poignant to reference & recall that time and visual grammar in this year’s Advent collaboration. In these next three posts, we will combine recordings of Sabrina’s liturgical action with imagery I’ve captured to illustrate Sabrina’s written words.
BREATHE
Breathe, and let this

soul
FIRE
The flame flickers, shrinks, then leaps and grows, ready to kiss my fingers. As I hold it up the wick and stare into the light and heat, I wonder if we will see the Holy Spirit in the gentle haze. After all, it’s easy to see tongues of flame.
