Altar to the Unknown God takes its title from the Apostle Paul’s encounter in the biblical book of Acts, where he discovers an altar inscribed “To the unknown god.” Paul’s response — to speak into the space between ignorance and revelation — becomes a metaphor for this exhibition’s central concern: the longing for spiritual meaning in an increasingly secular age.

This interdisciplinary exhibition brings together large abstract paintings, sculptures, carpentry-based forms, found objects, and the mixed media application of layers. The diversity of materials and processes reflects the multiplicity of spiritual experience itself — fragmented, embodied, and often improvised. Just as belief takes shape through layered histories, cultural inheritances, and personal encounters, so too these works are built through accumulation, tension, and transformation. Each piece becomes a provisional altar — a constructed offering shaped by gesture, labor, and the pull of the ineffable.

In a time when institutional religion is often in decline and spiritual narratives are fractured or hidden, these artworks offer a space of symbolic assembly — a contemporary altar — where doubt, belief, memory, and mystery coexist. By drawing from diverse faith vocabularies and aesthetic languages, the exhibition encourages interreligious dialogue and reimagines art as a site for spiritual inquiry and renewal.
