Letters to God
Online exhibition of Muslim prayer rugs which were collected in Russia and Central Asia.
After countless namaz salawat (sessions of prayer), these rugs are now marked with traces — the fabric fibers are worn, the color is faded, or there are patches visible on them. These traces act as documentary evidence attesting to something that cannot be heard or seen — a conversation between man and God
