El Qamesha El Wahida (The Lonely Cloth)

2014

Bronze, steel 

Wearing a Hijab or a head scarf of some kind is practiced by many muslim women world wide in observance of the Islamic concept of modesty. Muslims are required to follow a code of modesty. However that modesty must be practiced internally before presented outwardly. The hijab has become an unintentional symbol of Islam though years of cultural opinion and practice. In some cases, the fabric has acquired more respect and importance than the one who chooses to wear it. 

Although the scarf shines radiantly in the light, it's luster is meaningless without the person beneath it.
