The Six Pillars of Secular Spirituality

By Muna Zuberi 2023
This piece is about what refugees (indeed, all people) strive for – autonomy over your mind (represented by the magpie), body (the crane) and spirit (the crow) and the freedom to work (the sparrow) and play (the swift). The freedom to love is represented by the phoenix – who is shown shooting out rays of love over all else. 370 x 370mm, painted verre eglomise (traditional glass painting with 22ct gold leaf and enamel on the reverse surface), car window film.
