Rosewater for Jummah
Medium: Archival Pigment Print
Size: 13” x 19”
Rosewater for Jummah documents devotional objects and the prayer rugs that contain them. The work attends to the cyclical gestures of preparation, placement, and return that structure daily prayer. At prayer time, the bundle is opened and arranged at the head of the rug; when prayer concludes, the objects are gathered and closed again.
Rather than depicting belief as spectacle, the work focuses on maintenance and restraint, faith enacted through repetition and care. The prayer rug functions as both ground and archive, holding the imprint of touch, time, and inherited practice. Through this quiet choreography, the work considers devotion as a form of embodied labor, passed down through routine rather than instruction.
