Prayers in Latent Space is an interactive atlas of myth and desire. Typing a wish activates a search across a field of more than a hundred spiritual figures - gods, ghosts, goblins, and suprahumans- from various cultures, illuminating the figure whose power, temperament, and domain most closely resonate with the submitted prayer. Colors indicate spheres of influence, clusters reveal shared traits or powers, and the arrangement forms a quiet cosmology where cross-cultural deities coexist in relation to one another. By mapping myth as a navigable space, the work reframes ritual as a simple act of orientation: a wish entering a mythic field, searching for the presence that will answer. The map remembers past prayers as routes, tracing a layered record of desires over time.
