Fanoos: a Ramadan ritual

In the past 4 years, I spent Ramadan with my friends and family in Egypt. The Ramadan spirit can be seen and felt everywhere there. It's what makes Ramadan fun and you feel like you're part of something larger than yourself.
This year, however, I'm away from my family and I was very upset about it. But while I was dwelling on being alone in Ramadan I realized that I forgot about the essence of it.
Ramadan is about strengthening your relationship to God and becoming a better person. So, I decided to create a ritual I can do every day during Ramadan that reminds me of my faith and what I am grateful for. It's a form of reflection, just like a Dua Journal.
I was inspired by advent calendars, you get a present every day until Christmas. This is the same idea, just that you reflect every day until Eid.
The fanoos to me is a symbol of Ramadan, Egypt and my family. Writing on a fanoos every day and hanging it on the fairy lights is like bringing the Egyptian Ramadan spirit to where I am. I was inspired by Doreen Massey's "A global sense of place" in which she explains that the sense of place is actually within the observer and not the place itself. With this ritual I'm bringing the sense of place I feel in Egypt during Ramadan to where I am.
