“Framed In Silence”

Abdul Aziz believes that art is a way to connect with tradition and self. As a deaf artist, he’s drawn to calligraphy, Islamic motifs, and quiet scenes that reflect beauty in the everyday. His latest painting shows a delicate window surrounded by simple objects – the kind that often sit quietly on windowsills yet hold stories of their own. Through his art, Abdul Aziz hopes to preserve traditional forms of expression and eventually teach other deaf students the spiritual power of this practice.
