Description

The object follows a familiar devotional form, structured for repetition and touch. Its sequence remains intact.

The material, however, resists elevation. What is meant to pass through the fingers as reassurance becomes dense, earthly, unresolved.

The rosary continues to count, but not to purify.
Meaning is neither affirmed nor denied. It is only displaced.

Belief persists as structure.
Its substance is left open.
