A one-of-a-kind steel sculpture, celebrating women who wear the hijab, will be installed in the UK next month. The sculpture has been named ‘Strength of the Hijab.’
Weighing one-ton and standing 16-foot-tall, the galvanized steel sculpture features a woman wearing a hijab. “It is a woman’s right to be loved and respected whatever she chooses to wear. Her true strength is in her heart and mind,” is inscribed at the bottom of the sculpture.
It was designed by English sculptor Luke Perry, who is known for honouring under-represented communities through his creations.
