Portfolio > Mohammed Atta's Prayers

From a suite of drawings based on the FBI’s translation of four pages of scrawled notes found after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The eight drawings in “Mohammed Atta’s prayers” are part of a larger ongoing series called LESSONS IN CURSIVE, where excerpts of found text are rendered with the red and blue lines and “long hand” of elementary school penmanship lessons.
