"CONTINUUM" reimagines the mosque, a profound symbol of Islam, as a spacecraft, symbolizing its transcendent nature that bridges time and space, connecting believers across different eras and locations. This artistic reinterpretation underscores the timeless relevance and universal appeal of mosques, which have long served as guides of knowledge and enlightenment for Muslims.


Drawing inspiration from the Quranic verse urging believers to face every mosque: وَأَقِيمُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ, the artwork emphasizes the mosque's significance as the earthly abode of God and a center of learning and spiritual guidance.

Khalid encourages viewers to reflect on the enduring importance of religious institutions and their role in shaping individual and collective identities across diverse cultural landscapes. Through the fusion of traditional symbolism with futuristic elements, prompting a contemplative exploration of faith, spirituality, and human connection.
