Rituals and Devotion
Travel has given me a deep fascination with the world's religions. As an expat in the Middle East, I observed the rituals of Islamic culture as an outsider. I was drawn to its daily acts of devotion and found a sense of calm in the precision and geometry of Islamic design.
The more I travel, the more I recognise that belief is one of humanity's great common threads. While faith can define our differences, it also reveals what we share: devotion, purpose, and a hope for something beyond ourselves.
