ORA means both ‘prayer’ and ‘now’. This double reading brings together spirituality and immediacy, tradition and presence, repetition and the irreducibility of the moment. In this sense, the installation connects vertical dimensions, understood as ritual, spirituality, and transcendence with horizontal ones; daily life and human existence.

“This staircase … is your very own viscera, it is your digestive tube that connects your mouth, of which you are proud, and your anus, of which you are ashamed, hollowing out through your entire body a sinuous and gluey trench.”

— Aurora, Michel Leiris, cited by Gaston Bachelard in Earth and Reveries of Repose, 126f.

“… animals put food in their bodies, whereas fungi put their bodies in the food.”

— Sheldrake, 2020, 57
