Mobile or temporary shrines—are they a desire to bridge the gap between the sacred and the everyday?
Is it love for God or fear of God?
Is it an attempt to remember—or to forget?
Is it a form of communication with the departed, a way of keeping them present at all times, or an effort to connect with them?
Is it some kind of portal to another world?
Or is it a way to appease the self, to soothe the soul?
Why do we carry shrines with us—in our cars, our pockets, our wallets—from one place to another?
