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 to fly as high as I want. I pray he does not clip my wings.
Growing up my Uncle Karam would gift me jewelry from famed Egyptian jeweler, Asfour Diamond & Crystal.
May he rest in peace.
