“Project Tasbih is inspired by my grandmother's spiritual practices of collective prayers and acts of service to others. It includes guided meditation, an installation made of thousands of date pits and many prayer mates, and explores the science of repetitive prayers and thoughts as the world's most beautiful and powerful force in the world”⁠.  This installation consisted of almost 50 kilograms of date pits and assorted seeds, along with a collection of nearly 80 prayer mats, most of which were borrowed from the Muslim community in Birmingham.
