A series of portraits that aims to be a spiritual census of campus life.
Where do you find meaning in life? In religion, spirituality, or secularism?
Regardless of one's affiliation, or lack thereof, sacredness and purpose are key components of personal well-being. Spirit of McGill is a project whose mission is to highlight various perspectives on faith, while illustrating McGill's diverse multifaith community.
Drawing inspiration from David Summerhays' past project, L'âme de Montréal, Spirit of McGill finds its roots in many of Summerhays' approaches to conversations about religion and spirituality in a public context. Additionally, L'âme de Montréal takes direction from the vastly popular portrait series, Humans of New York, by capturing the essence of the meaning of life in its most unpredictable, or unposed, moments.
Participating in a larger community of approaches to highlighting student voices on campus, such as Humans of McGill University and Working Humans of McGill, MORSL's Spirit of McGill aims to bring a unique and dynamic approach to the view of religion and spirituality on campus.
