With Christmas on the horizon, it’s a time to consider Christian rituals or religion in general, especially when shopping for Santa. Boglárka Éva Zellei‘s photographs came to our attention when she garnered 1st Place (along with Mike Whiteley) in our 2018 Seeing is Believing Exhibition, jurored by Drew Nikonowicz. Her series, Furnishing the Sacred, is a fascinating look at religious spaces and the sacred act of baptism. The juxtaposition between this solemn ablution and the quirky containers of purification make for a fascinating typology.
