Halah Khan, دُعا / Dua (Prayer), 8 × 8 in, Karachi, 2022.

This unique, tea-washed book features embroidery and crocheted flowers. On the cover is a “taweez” (talisman) surrounded with golden “zarri” thread and a floral header piece. Inside, the hand-stitched Urdu text is Khan’s “prayer for the possibility of home”.

Dua was selected by our Collections Team for the 10 × 10 for 10 exhibition. The show opens April 26. Learn more: letterformarchive.org/news/10-
