PRIVATE COMMISSION/ Fabric ink on vintage kimono. Worn to red carpet event in Fez, Morocco. Text on back & breast detail make up Islamic testament of faith: "There is no god but God" (back, free form script)-- & "Muhammad is His messenger" (breast, traditional Thuluth script). Faith, & her testimony is how you live it. It is as empty as the shell of a garment, made visible only by the acts & movements of a breathing human heart. The text style of the back breaks from its medallion & turns into air, wind, forward motion. The script is invented, roughly inspired. The front breast detail serves as a reminder to always keep where one comes from in their heart.
