Abstract
"A
graphical
representation
of the
pilgrimage
to
Mecca...
.
Mellis
visited
Mecca
and was
struck
by the
number
of
pilgrims
and the
ritual
surrounding
the
pilgrimage
. The
first
image
represents
'the
donning
of the
ihram.
' On a
white
paper
page
,
which
is
translucent
enough
to
reveal
what
is
to
come
, a
two-inch
square
of
white
paper
represents
the
special
white
clothes
each
pilgrim
dons
.
Subsequent
pages
represent
steps
of the
Hajj
until
the
final
circumambulation
of the
Ka'ba"--Vamp
