In Sanctuary of Unquiet: the Feminine Divine, the works meet in a shared field of reverence and resistance. Cole-Dahar’s Watchers rise as draped, reflective figures, part relic, part sentinel holding the weight of archetype and myth. Hayes’ Obliteration Scrolls fall around and between them, cascading surfaces of mark, erasure, and return.

Together, these forms create an environment that feels devotional and unsettled, where the sacred is not fixed but breathing. The Watchers stand in stillness, while the Scrolls move and flicker with projected traces of their own making. Between them, the viewer encounters a rhythm of persistence and undoing beauty threaded with unease, intimacy with distance.

This collaboration asks how we hold power, silence, and voice within the feminine body and its echoes. It is both sanctuary and rupture: an invitation to dwell inside what cannot be easily named, to sense the field where the unseen breathes as something porous, layered, and alive.

What emerges is a sanctuary of both reverence and unrest, an environment where beauty and discomfort coexist, and where the feminine is neither idolized nor contained. Through the interplay of stillness and motion, surface and residue, we invite viewers into a shared contemplation of power, vulnerability, and the ongoing labor of becoming divine in one’s own unquiet form.
