This collection is a critique of contemporary Mediterranean religiosity. It portrays the annual feast as a ritual in which capitalism and religious symbolism often become inseparable. Amid fireworks, merchandise, sponsorships, banners, and public display, sainthood is transformed into a consumable experience, while devotion is frequently compressed into a week-long performance before fading back into everyday life. Yet, the project does not dismiss the profound faith that many genuinely experience through these celebrations. Instead, it explores the uneasy coexistence of sincere spirituality and public spectacle, asking where authentic devotion ends and its aesthetic, commercial, and communal performance begins.
