Awakening cultural transformation through creative direction, subconscious alchemy, and visionary healing practices.
At CENTER.SITE, we gather around the language of symbols and Jungian insight to shape guided visual architectures with artists, musicians, and healers—those devoted to bridging the seen and unseen.
Grounded in sacred symbolism, our approach is alchemical: merging intuitive insight with strategic vision to unite aesthetics, spirituality, and the work of cultural transformation.
Symbols act as archetypal mirrors, illuminating the landscapes of our inner worlds and guiding us toward deeper connection—with ourselves, each other, the collective, and the divine.
CENTER is a SITE.
CENTER is SIGHT.
CENTER is a point of emergence—at once a seed, an anchor, a storm’s eye, a compass, a nucleus, a solar system, and a plexus.
It’s the gravitational point we move away from, only to find ourselves returning to again.

ABOUT
maggiehazen.com
I am an artist, concept architect, prison abolitionist and mystic weaving the traditions of centering prayer, Jungian thought and the study of personal symbolisim into a healing practice. With over a decade of experience leading multidisciplinary projects at the intersection of visual art, design, and social justice. As a studio artist, creative director and nonprofit founder, my work bridges award-winning collaborators, incarcerated artists, musicians, institutions, and grassroots organizations.Rooted in sculpture and digital media, my practice spans fine art, filmmaking, animation, immersive environments, digital fabrication, and curatorial strategy. I hold an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and have taught at Bard College, NYU, Stevens Institute of Technology, and the Shanghai Institute for Visual Art.
For over six years, I I have navigated the United States prison system and fostered community collaborations with incarcerated individuals across various correctional facilities, including the Columbia Secure Center for Girls, the Brookwood Secure Center for Youth, the Shawangunk Correctional Facility, and the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility .

PERSONAL STATEMENT
Between ruin and renewal, my work cultivates the possibility of a world reborn from fractured remnants.
Through a collage-based approach, I weave the physical fragments of images and material—digital, sculptural, and found—into reimagined landscapes of space and power. Like mushrooms dissolving decay into fertile ground, like oysters purifying our tide, I look to nature’s quiet alchemy as my guide. This process—transitional, interstitial, liminal—holds the breath before transformation. With a little bit of duct tape and some Elmers glue the blueprints of this world emerge not despite its brokenness, but because of it.
Emerging from the interplay of my individual studio practice and the synchronicities I encounter in my communal practice, I navigate and reconfigure the systems, architectures, and landscapes that oppress, control and confine. Rooted in the frameworks of magical realism, my work conjures thresholds—conceptual and material mappings that chart pathways through our fraught panoptic landscapes toward alternative realities, new beginnings, and renewed freedoms. Using mythological and metaphorical symbols, visualizations in my work disrupt and reimagine space, time, structures, and systems, bending the rigid contours of power into fluid sites of possibility both through play and detailed observation.
