GALLERY | $5-10 SUGGESTED DONATION | ALL AGES | Divine Circuits is a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Jessica Morales, also known online as evilfaery, which explores the evolving relationship between humanity, technology, and the sacred. Through the blend of religious iconography, circuitry, and industrial materials, the exhibition examines how technological advancement has transformed contemporary systems of belief, devotion, and identity. Drawing parallels between ancient forms of worship and modern technological dependence, Morales questions whether humanity has created a new object of reverence in its pursuit of innovation, artificial intelligence, and digital immortality.

Developed over the course of two years, Divine Circuits reflects on complexities, a pivotal moment when seemingly disconnected systems begin to organize into intricate, interconnected structures. Through stained glass, solder, cyanotype, repurposed printed circuit boards (PCBs), and silver and tin figurines, Morales constructs a visual dialogue between the spiritual and mechanical. The exhibition invites viewers to consider a future in which technology no longer simply serves humanity but increasingly shapes what humanity believes, values, and worships.

Jessica Morales is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the intersections of spirituality, technology, cultural symbolism, and the human condition. Working across mixed media and assemblage, Morales incorporates unconventional materials such as solder, stained glass, cyanotype, repurposed printed circuit boards (PCBs), and silver and tin figurines to investigate the relationship between traditional forms of devotion and contemporary technological advancement. Her work draws upon the visual language of religious iconography, reimagining sacred imagery through industrial and electronic materials to question the evolving boundaries between the natural, artificial, and divine.

Over the past two years, Morales has developed a body of work that examines humanity's growing dependence on technology and its emergence as a modern form of worship. Her practice seeks to transform discarded technological materials into objects of contemplation, challenging viewers to reconsider what society preserves, what it discards, and what it chooses to revere.

Divine Circuits will be on view through November 29th, 2026.
