Home altars play a vital role in providing grounding, healing, and inspiration through personal expressions of life transitions. These sacred spaces evolve over time, reflecting emotions and personal growth. Conversations with designers Laura Kirar, Josué Ramos Espinoza, and Mike Diaz reveal how altars blend design, meaning, and personal narratives, enriching daily life through artistic expression and storytelling. Altars act as vessels for healing, creating connections among people, memories, and places of significance, while also encouraging reflection and restoration amidst life's changes.
"In seeking to understand how others approach altar-making, I spoke with three designers: Laura Kirar, Josué Ramos Espinoza, and Mike Diaz. Each offered a distinct perspective on creating and curating altars, shaped by their cultural heritage, creative practices, and personal philosophies."
"What struck me in these conversations was the harmonious blending of design, meaning, and healing in altar-making. Whether inspired by the seasons or crafted with intention to hold energy, these altars create spaces for reflection, connection, and restoration."
