Prayer Beads in Candlelit Nouakchott Mosque

by Shelby Keller

Dust motes float in sharp shafts of fading blue evening light within the quiet nave of a Nouakchott mosque. Wooden prayer beads slide through dark fingers in the foreground, their surfaces catching the warm flicker of nearby candles. The room features low walls and simple arches typical of Mauritanian architecture. Behind the hands, a solid stone wall should exist, yet a rectangular opening reveals the open ocean with rolling waves and a distant horizon. The impossible sea glows with the same twilight blue as the sky outside, against the amber candlelight. Fine sand from the beach appears to drift inside, mixing with the room's dust. The final edge of a prayer rug lies flat on the floor, its pattern partially obscured by the encroaching water.
