At the center, a luminous white core anchors the piece in stillness and light—echoing the divine center of traditional rose windows, where Christ or Mary often resides. Surrounding it, a red ring replicates the segmented wheel from the game show Wheel of Fortune—a secular mechanism of chance, reward, and spectacle. Here, the wheel becomes a metaphor for karmic spin, moral randomness, or the gamification of fate.

The next ring, rendered in tan and blue, features calligraphy drawn from the interior dome of the Hagia Sophia. These inscriptions—originally part of the Ottoman mosque phase—carry sacred weight, invoking divine names and spiritual authority. Their inclusion reframes the wheel as a transmitter of prayer, echoing the logic of Tibetan mani khorlo while grounding it in Islamic architectural reverence.

The outermost ring contains rosettes rendered as color-blocked emojis—digital glyphs of emotion, reaction, and social shorthand. These symbols, stripped of their pixelated context and reimagined in painterly form, become the new stained glass: contemporary icons of feeling, flattened into universal legibility.

Prayer Wheel spins and moves. It stages a visual liturgy where belief systems—sacred, secular, and digital—are layered into a single symmetrical field. It asks: What do we worship? What do we spin for? What symbols carry our prayers now?
