#UnderTheHijab is the universe of diversity

Artwork created by Laila Vaziralli for #UndertheHijab

Artist statement: "Here is my version of the faceless hijab, I have always found it fascinating how humans don't quite like diversity, but yet are inherently as diverse as the stars in the sky. Now, Wouldn't it be terribly boring if we all wore a beret?"

#UnderTheHijab is an artists’ collective that aims to break the stereotypes related to those who wear a Hijab. The series was inspired by the story of a young Syrian girl, Sarah, who was called a terrorist for wearing a hijab. Moved and provoked by Sarah’s story the founder of Project FUEL, Deepak Ramola, curated a series of artworks using the hashtag #UnderTheHijab.
