Iconclasms explores the rejection or dismantling of cherished beliefs and institutions established to indoctrinate people. This exhibition celebrates the deconstruction and recontextualization of artifacts from religious or institutional modalities. Promoting heretical objects, Iconoclasms challenges notions of ritual, worship, and invocation.

Historically, Iconoclasms, the destruction and defacement of religious or political objects, was driven by the belief that images can become idols or represent oppressive power. Idols were used as a tool of worship, pushing the individual further from the church. This concept that idols, objects imbued with religious omnipotence, could divide the individual from the collective consciousness of the church threatened theological purity.

The intersectionality between idol and artwork, creation as an act of worship, and artists as devoted worshipers (obsecrating at the altars of their own creativity) poses the question: is creation by nature heresy? The work exhibited in Iconoclasms explores devotion to the craft, mock vandalism, and religious idealization.
