Art as prayer

When art functions as prayer, the making itself becomes the point rather than the product—a sustained attention to presence, material, and intention that mirrors contemplative practice. This reverses the normal logic where art's value lies in what others think of it, instead locating meaning in the quality of consciousness brought to the work.
