People of Africa express themselves through adornment of the body. My African and Turkish heritage inspired these prayer bead sculptures for the home.

They are the rosary, the mala, the tesbih and komboloi ‘worry bead’, our common talisman. Place it where you will see it, for its energy to permeate. A rich ornament of beauty and power
