Lopud is a small island made of limestone and dolomite.

55 rocks were inscribed with Latin excerpts from the Trinity Gospels, a 10th-century Gospel Book written in Carolingian minuscule. Each was arranged across the chapel floor in the architectural tradition of spolia, wherein vernacular material is used in service of something new.

Coastlines, paths, walls—everything on Lopud is built from fragmented rock and then steeped in religious history. The monasteries, nunneries, and chapels on the island were built by medieval and early modern sailors as offerings to God for safe passage between Venice and Dubrovnik. For this installation—produced in residency at the Lopud Foundation—the Chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Sv. Djevica sa brda Karmela) was cleared, smudged, and reactivated as the site of a new offering that invites passersby to pause and look closer.
