Community Project:

This piece was done to help raise awareness of Ahmed Abu Ali's legal case. It is a
mix of photos from childhood up till the court's illustrations, videos of news footage,
community members, family & friends, and ends with a recitation by Ahmed.

Family History:

This is a stop motion piece done by 700+ cut outs, a white board, board markers,
and a D40 Nikon camera. The character in the film is my father and he is talking
about his Grandparents' hardships in Somalia and what it was like to live back then.

Specific View:

The assignment was to have the video camera mounted on something that could move
and the example was a roller skate. I chose to use a skateboard. This piece is about the
importance of Prayer and how each prayer has its own time. Muslims pray 5 times a day.
