Artemis Studio Art

i pray to comfort myself, i pray because repetition and attention and deliberate thought can make anything holy, i pray because i was trained to, i pray because my grandmother’s soul is listening even if god is dead, i pray because it conjures the past and the past could use some recontextualizing, i pray because shape and symbol and ceremony and icon are everywhere and expanding, i pray to them and the prayer is being.

God unto themself, i am what i am.
