The 99 Names of God series attempts to find a point of reconciliation between two, seemingly, diametrically opposed and yet at present fatally interwoven cultural mythologies: that of Islamic spiritualism and the narratives and values of the American Wild West, especially as articulated in the Western film tradition. The works propose the formlessness of the desert and the empty wilderness, key elements in both cultures, as a place where such reconciliation may occur.
