Altar for science fiction - Haleh Mawson

I built this altar out of the speculative fiction books I have read and loved. Science fiction, from its start in the modern world with Frankenstein, has always been a genre for questioning conventions and humanizing the strange, breaking down doors in our minds and showing us the world in new ways. It's a take-all-kinds genre, a thousand different modes of thought and questions about life that get lumped together in the same place because of their fundamental curiosity about how our world is constructed, the basic need to poke at reality and see if there is more there than meets the eye. I made this altar to thank the books which have shaped me and made me believe that the only boundaries of our existence are the bounds of our own imagination.
