Statics of
the After
Image Description: A photo of a patterned prayer rug laid out on a light-colored floor, framed by a black marble-like border. Below the image, text reads, “if i didn’t have the fear of the wind in me i would’ve disappeared already.”
The poetry line is from M.H. Noman’s poem, “Postcards from the Dead Air.”
This image captures the tension between religion and sexuality—a constant push and pull. There’s often a negative association between the two, as if they can’t coexist. But does it have to be that way?
Why can’t faith be a choice, not something forced but something embraced freely, alongside one’s identity? Why does society insist they are mutually exclusive?
We are taught to fear God, when God, above all, teaches love.
