Art Notes

Kharboucha, portrayed with traditional dress and pockmarked face — is here singing as hands slowly begin to brick her up. The various people around her are listening with shock and amazement. In the stars up above are the crescent and the star, a symbol of Islam.

you'd be seeing some cool stuff right here.

There's alternate versions, reference imagery, and timelapse videos for everything on here. But it's not too late - you can still become a backer! If you already are one, you can log in here!
