The sudden revelation of a powerful religious calling was an entirely unlooked-for event in the life of a college-student named Lauren. But when it became clear to her that she had a spiritual vocation, she made the exceptional decision to dedicate her life to God. Drawing upon many visits to the cloistered religious community of Dominican nuns in Summit New Jersey, photographer Toni Greaves has created a luminous body of work capturing the transformative journey by which Lauren became Sister Maria Teresa of the Sacred Heart. Presented in an exquisite photobook volume featuring a cloth case with silk-screening, foil, and tip-on, these meditative photographs reveal the radical joy of a life dedicated unequivocally to love.
Beautiful, joyful, and thought-provoking, this collection of photographs of a young nun's journey, by rising-star photographer Toni Greaves, is a rare gem for both fine-art photography lovers and those interested in religious life-be they practicing Catholics, or simply drawn to tradition, simplicity, and contemplation.
