ECUAD AWARD WINNER NADIA SAJJAD

Nadia Sajjad and My Religion 

Nadia Sajjad, My Religion, 2013

Nadia Sajjad's My Religion is a meticulously crafted ceramic sculpture of a string of prayer beads that contrasts an obsession with consumer brands with that of religious devotion. It's both beautiful and cheeky, hearkening back to Sajjad's own history as an immigrant and the reconciliation that she has made between the two different cultures of her upbringing.
