Da Muslima (The Muslim woman)

Description

Da Muslima (The Muslim woman) is a mixed media of wax and ink on paper. The work has two points of inspiration. One is the highlighting of the African American Muslim in the United States, and the other is Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. The use of the white headwrap as a highlight of this piece was inspired by Vermeer, as well as the earring highlighted by its shadow.
