Reconfiguring Meaning (Sacred Objects)

Introduction / Concept

Many narratives, across a variety of genres, rely on objects with added properties. Mysteries rely on objects that have some hidden clues. Fantasy stories are full of weapons engraved with old magic, clothing with powerful protection, and armor which protects the wearer in mystical ways. Its part of our nature as storytellers, that we infuse things with something special, in hopes that it will serve us in some extra special way.

Behind each object, there’s some layer of special meaning to be applied. The purpose of this project is twofold. First, I hope to amplify any inherent meanings within the objects. Second, I hope to infuse new meanings within these objects, to further shape the potential for the object’s quality to the person who uses, views, and interprets it.
