Collection: American Woman Collection

The Busts in this collection show the silhouette of an Indigenous Muslim Woman adored in her Khimar. As a society, the way we choose to wear our hair is a form of expression. For a Muslim woman, her headpiece expresses a great deal of sentiment and her attitude about life. Khimars for Muslim Women can be Regal and Colorful. Indigenous Muslims have always been here in this society, strong, invisible and unattainable. Now more than ever, the identity of African Americans are considered an afterthought, but we are ever-present. In a tribute to the Abstract Expressionist and Scholar, Norman Lewis, I chose this theme to show the beauty of a Muslimah and her adornment. With a combination of color and style, this personifies who the Muslim Woman will always be.
