Zarina's most recent works explore spirituality with a series of sculptures based on Muslim prayer beads, (italics) Tasbih III, (2008), Tasbih IV, (2008), Tasbih (2011) and Blinding Light (2010), a paper work that Zarina gilded with 22-karat gold leaf. When Huyssen questioned the artist on her spirituality, Zarina said that although she tries to fight spirituality, with old age, and when faced with mortality, spirituality came to her.
