Bold, raw, and arresting, “Sanctified” invites viewers to confront a deeper, more complex portrait of sanctity. The figure’s intense gaze meets us with stillness and strength, while the textured copper and earth-toned background evokes both fire and foundation. A halo—imperfect, almost violently sketched in white—hovers above the head, disrupting the traditional image of divine purity with something more human, more honest.

Tears run down her face like oil or ash, suggesting the sacredness of sorrow, the beauty in brokenness, and the truth that holiness can wear a wounded face. She is both sacred and scarred—a testament to resilience, identity, and the unseen battles behind grace.

“Sanctified” challenges the viewer to redefine what it means to be holy—not as perfection, but as presence. She is anointed not because she is untouched by pain, but because she has endured it with dignity.

"Her halo is not polished—it’s painted in survival."
