"Arahmaiani's ""Holy ToxicCoke,"" created in 1993, stands as a significant and provocative piece within her practice. This mixed-media installation juxtaposes a Coca-Cola bottle with a prayer rug, effectively blending elements of Western consumer culture with Islamic spirituality. The work serves as a critique of the pervasive influence of global capitalism on traditional cultural and religious values. By positioning a ubiquitous symbol of Western consumerism alongside a sacred object integral to Islamic prayer, Arahmaiani challenges viewers to contemplate the intersections and tensions between divergent cultural and ideological systems.

This piece interrogates the commodification of culture and the dissemination of Western consumer goods and values, exploring their impacts on local traditions and spiritual practices. It exemplifies Arahmaiani's broader artistic practice, which frequently engages with themes of identity, globalization, and the complex interplay between tradition and modernity. Through "Holy Toxic Coke," Arahmaiani invites viewers to critically examine how global consumer culture infiltrates and transforms local and sacred spaces."
