Artist's Statement
Statement of Work
The Sons of Abraham Project was created to study a fictitious "us and them" that was created after 9/11. The camera is made of forged aluminum, titanium, pieces of the Quran, Bible and Torah and part of a beam from the South Tower of the World Trade Center. With this camera I will only photograph Imams, Priest and Rabbi's, holding Qurans, Torahs and Bibles, standing in front of Churches, synagogues and mosques. Just a man or woman, standing to the left of a building holding a book. All the compositions of the photos will be the same, all without an "us and them"...
