Bread & Beads 2 – Shukri Abu Baker
From the deep ends of a prison cell, as I was fiddling with a soft slice of white bread, then balling up a piece between my fingers, an idea sparked in my head. I want you to know that every bead you hold in your hand came straight from my hands and imagination. Each Masbaha is one of a kind, no two can ever be alike. This product is made by a political prisoner who refuses to be shrunk into an insignificant being devoid of purpose and stripped of desire to stand strong and determined.
