In the series Tasbih, Sultan bin Fahad transforms vintage souvenir prayer rugs, adding Islamic prayers, stripped to their core phonetic sounds, in the form of abstract neon sculptures.
Tasbih, translated from Arabic, is the glorification and devotional act of reciting short prayers such as “Glory to God”, “God is Greatest”, and “Praise be to God”. Uttered repetitively and silently within the mind or aloud, the prayers morph into a series of personal meditative and reflective chants with the Creator.
The vintage prayer rugs, ubiquitous and utilitarian mass produced carpets sold at markets near Mecca, over time became collectible souvenirs attributed to the holiest city of Islam.
The combination of the traditional craft object with a hypermodern material like bright neon, transforms the finished work into something entirely contemporary and conceptual – a tangible visualization of the deep connection between one’s private ruminations and the personal meanings we attribute to objects and artifacts over time.
