Alter

Alter is a mobile, collapsible altar that plays on the dual meaning of its name—both altar as a sacred structure and to alter as transformation. Built from stained glass and wood, its materials are chosen with intention: the varied tones of glass symbolize human diversity, while the warmth of wood grounds the work in humility. Unlike traditional altars tied to a single place or doctrine, Alter resists hierarchy and permanence, moving fluidly between spaces and welcoming all participants regardless of belief. Visitors are invited to kneel, meditate, leave offerings, or simply observe, making the piece both intimate and communal. At its core, Alter is an inclusive, non-denominational reimagining of the sacred—an open invitation to discover spirituality in one’s own way.
