Here is a neighborhood shrine in early stages of painting. You can see the outside two doors, which open to expose a tryptic (more detail will be posted soon). This prototype for this shrine is a sythesis of shrines from the Renaissance which I studied in Italy, and Shinto shrines that I saw in neighborhoods in Japan.
The subject of this shrine is heritage, our ancestry, with prompting from the Mexican celebration Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This shrine series is part of Pario's exploration of the subject of community identity and belonging.
