Prayway at the intersection of sacred /profane

Prayway

From Slavs and Tatars collective group, Prayway makes a strong case for a ritual object.

A collision of the sacred and the profane – the rahlé, the traditional book stand used for holy books, and the takht or river-bed, vernacular seating areas used in tea-salons – PrayWay is part installation, part sculpture, part seating area, and all polemical platform.
