In this installation, fifty skateboards carpet the floor, each covered with a patchwork of Islamic prayer rugs. Referring to both the Muslim act of prayer and skateboard culture, Maximum Sensation examines cultural hybridity and the collision of cultures in a globalized world.
The piece can be seen as a reflection on the artist's own experience of being raised in a Moroccan Muslim family and then living in the Western context of contemporary France.
