Maria Lopez Farias on “A New Sacred”
Whitehot Magazine
May 2025
In A New Sacred, on view at Storage, NYC (March 14th - May 3rd 2025), artists Eden Seifu (b. 1996) and Carolyn Oberst (b. 1946) stage a visual dialogue across generations, one that focuses on spirituality and the feminine divine. Through a charged entanglement of temporal rhythm and religious iconography, the exhibition lingers on the fragile boundary between the sacred and the secular, asking what forms of beauty and belief remain in times of ecological crisis. It seduces the viewer into imagining multiple ways of accounting for time’s passage and the world’s fragmented levity.
