Young Prayer is an electronic based kinetic sculpture that functions as a guitar smashing and feedback machine. As an installation Young Prayer strives to reflect on the sprigging of rock culture from religious practices. Young Prayer also aims to reveal the cliché and predictable nature the action of guitar smashing has assumed over its relatively brief history as well as commemorate its lineage and celebrate its unique auditory effects.​
