Haar afstudeerwerk viel op. Ze maakte het van halva: een Perzische lekkernij die voornamelijk op begrafenissen wordt gegeten, en de pijn van een verlies verzacht. De van oorsprong Afghaanse Mohammadi wist de culturen van oost en west te verbinden door een collectief werk waarin zij de halva samen met haar vrienden maakte. Voor deze kunstopdracht heeft zij hun hulp opnieuw ingeschakeld. Het is nu niet zoet, maar schoon wat domineert in haar sculptuur.

Jesus entered the world through a situation that would have been scandalous, but God's love has always been scandalous. One modern example of this is the forgiveness of the Amish community following the tragedy in West Nickel Mines. Grace remains shocking today. Scandalous love brought Jesus into the world then, and reveals Jesus to the world now.2019-12-1613 minDauphin Way United Methodist ChurchDauphin Way United Methodist ChurchFestival Service - 6-23-2019Trey West preaches in the Festival Service. 2019-06-2419 minPastor Mike Lowery - SermoncastPastor Mike Lowery - Sermoncast2019_04_14 - The Long-Awaited KingVisit us at https://www.cartecayumc.org/ The Long-Awaited King Luke 19:28-40 Do you like waiting?
