ALTERNATE SIDES ART PROJECT - AYUB




“AYUB” - Acrylic paint on modular wood blocks. 10 x 14” assembled. 2024

“This is Ayub from Bangladesh. He works at the Halal food cart by the subway station near my home. In the haze of the summer heat, Ayub quickly put together a delicious meal for my family and me. He was so pleasant that I felt comfortable enough to ask if I could take his picture to create this painting. He lit up and was visibly excited about the idea. ‘Really?’ he asked, as if astonished. He took a moment to straighten up, then posed with a proud expression on his face.”
