‘The Fast, The Pilgrimage, The Sacrifice’ are a body of works blessed with the dua (prayers) of my family and I. They carry our intention and trust; the sanctity of ritual practice. Through this work I document important events in the Islamic calendar, Ramadan (the fast), Hajj (the pilgrimage) and Eid al-Adha (the sacrifice), and the means by which we cleanse and protect space and body in preparation for ceremony. Traditional techniques such as raising, granulation and stone carving are reinterpreted through a sacred material language. The elements; the seeds of the dates we used to break our fast, the horn of the bull sacrificed to feed the community, the mustard seed, are all imbued with potent materiality that transcends into spiritual practice. These works exist to resist the loss of knowledge, the act of making itself a conduit for ancestral memory.
