Nadia El Mahi - Waves Of Prayer

"Waves of prayer" is a community-centered experience, a peaceful gathering with strangers (sit-in), where participants are invited to perform a simple action in clay; in silence, with intention and in proximity. It is a collective act of reflection and resistance that reminds us of what connects us in daily life and brings us back to the essence. Inspired by the rosary, which is still used in various spiritual circles, it is an activity that imitates and aims to strengthen the social fabric of the community. The practice is repetitive, meditative, and in a way also performative, actively carried by all participants. It reflects on themes such as community, ritual, contemplation, space/territory, craft, the notion of time, connection, and human interconnectedness.
