ASFOURAcrylic, Gold Gilded Paint, Mixed Media on Canvas in Custom Black and Gold Leaf Frame 36 x 60" In loving memory of Uncle Karam This painting is titled "Asfour", which means "bird" in Arabic. Birds are recurring symbol within four different pieces of this collection. They represent freedom and a connection to God. They fly close to heaven and intercede prayers on my behalf. I pray that if I'm meant to find a partner in this life, he respects my desire

but because it’s hers

acknowledging the heritage in which you are rooted

every moment touches another

this piece is a meditation on renewal—where what was once discarded becomes sacred once more

Crushed Glass

This work reflects the richness of identity that exists beyond what is offered to the world

Through the connection with those who came before her

wrestled with

and keep moving forward through every season of change

Transformation is rarely graceful

This work captures the moment where emotion and momentum collide

tells a story
