Jungle Vines Overgrow Muscat Mosque Altar in at the foot of a stone altar in Muscat

Jungle Vines Overgrow Muscat Mosque Altar

by Vera Davila

Sunset light pools across a stone altar floor in a Muscat mosque corner, illuminating hands sliding prayer beads through fingers. Thick jungle vines, impossibly dense and green, have erupted from the stone base, wrapping around the altar legs and climbing the walls within a single season. Condensation beads on a nearby glass pane, catching the warm orange glow of the dropping sun. The rough texture of the stone contrasts with the smooth, wet leaves of the encroaching foliage. One vine stem rests against the polished surface of the prayer beads, blurring the line between sacred interior and wild exterior growth.
