Childhood in Detroit
Hide + seek with Sati and Arden. View more here: goo.gl/RexXcb
My family converted to Sunni Islam when I was 6-years-old. Sunni Muslims are forbidden from creating images of living things. As a result, I have no childhood pictures (save for two pictures taken before our conversion).
Whenever I have the opportunity to photograph children, it has special meaning for me. In giving them something I was denied, I feel a part of me is restored.
