I did some research about artist who are working with fabrics. Azra Aksamija, an Bosnian Austrian artist inspired my work and further my research about identity.
Her work focuses on the role of cultural and religious identity in conflicts, especially in the recent history of the Yugoslavian war and its aftermath.
Her Work 'Dirndlmoschee' is based on the Dirndl, a traditional Austrian dress, is still worn in the every day life in some places in Austria, such as in the little town of Strobl at the Wolfgang Lake. The Dirndlmoschee can be transformed into an Islamic prayer environment that provides a prayer space for three people.
