[ir]reverent: miracles on demand is an installation featuring a custom-designed monstrance that incubates a Eucharistic host inoculated with Serratia marcescens, a naturally occurring bacterium known for its red pigmentation. By creating the appearance of a “bleeding” wafer, this piece subverts the notion of miracles as exclusively divine events. Instead, it foregrounds the act of human intervention and scientific process, prompting viewers to question the boundaries between faith, evidence, and fabrication.
