ALTARS by Jenna Saraco is a deeply personal and visually captivating exploration of family history, memory, and devotion. Inspired by a 1961 photograph of her father as an altar boy during a transatlantic trip to Italy, and influenced by the intricate home textiles and distinctive personal style of her grandmother, Saraco weaves a rich tapestry of imagery and meaning.
The book features ethereal photographs of lace-adorned bodies and women captured in moments of reverence, each image a poignant reflection of the intersection of time, place, and materiality.
