Tapestry of Sisterhood

Kelly Izdihar Crosby
USA

I’m still touched by the diversity of the Islamic global community and that idea developed into this piece.  I decided to create a montage of women in different headscarves and different complexions.  I have depicted Muslim women wearing turbans, Turkish hijabs, “traditional” hijabs, stylish wraps, niqabs (face veils) and no hijab.  I want to show the audience our beauty and also our diversity in terms of how we outwardly reflect our faith.  The mainstream image of Muslim women is quite one dimensional and I think this piece can offer the viewer to an alternative to the current monolithic stereotype.
