PrayWay

2012
silk and wool carpet, MDF, steel, neon, 390 x 280 x 50 cm

A collision of the sacred and the profane – the rahlé, the traditional book stand used for holy books, and the takht (or river-bed), vernacular seating areas used in tea-salons – PrayWay is part installation, part sculpture, part seating area, and all polemical platform.
