"Faith:Peace" (Part of "The Family" Culture Portrait Collection)
$20.00 - $975.00
"Faith:Peace" represents the importance of FAITH & PEACE in a family and community. The father represents the foundation of faith in the family and all of the symbolism, Arabic and objects were selected to communicate faith. The mother represents peace: peace in the home, support in the community and the world. The portrait also includes hidden symbols that both support and extend the concept of faith & peace: Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca), one of the 5 Pillars of Islam, a silhouette of a masque, as well as a prayer rug.

The America to ZANZIBAR exhibit is a traveling cultural and experiential exhibit that's coming to the Philadelphia Please Touch Museum from the New York Children's Museum very soon! Custom Arts Studio was selected as an artist-in-residence to create imagery that reflects the Muslim Community, culture and religion in the city of Philadelphia to be exhibited alongside the traveling exhibit. My residency focused on family, the importance of culture and religion in family and how young people experience that religion and culture in their own lives.

"Love:Son" (Part of "The Family" Culture Portrait Collection)
$20.00 - $975.00
"Love:Son" represents LOVE in all of its forms. While we don't usually think of young boys when we think of love, I felt it important to highlight and juxtapose this (very limiting) belief by focusing the son's portrait on this very theme. The portrait also includes hidden symbols that both support and extend the concept of love: Salat (daily prayer), one of the 5 Pillars of Islam, and triangles (representing a sound, solid foundation). "Love:Son" is a part of "The Family" Culture Portrait Collection.

"Hope:Daughter" (Part of "The Family" Culture Portrait Collection)
$20.00 - $975.00
"Hope:Daughter" represents HOPE. This portrait represents the hope our daughters offer to the the family and the world. We entrust our daughters with an unsaid hope that they will go out into the world and extend our family through their own. The portrait also includes hidden symbols that both support and extend the concept of love: Zakat (charity), one of the 5 Pillars of Islam, and a compass representing journeying into the unknown.
