Ariel Oakley: Quanta Qualia presents recent work pairing medieval iconography with medical imaging to rethink the sacred through bodily matter. Paintings and small sculptures merge reliquaries, anatomy, plants, and invertebrate forms into new icons shaped by acrylic, bronze, and bioplastic. Candles, halos, and chimeric figures frame the body as a collective ecological system, proposing meaning rooted in sensuous, earthly existence rather than transcendence.
