Huge 16ft sculpture celebrating Muslim women in the Black Country takes shape The huge piece of artwork, named 'The Strength of the Hijab', will be moved to its permanent home near Brasshouse Lane, Smethwick, later this year. It depicts a Muslim woman wearing a hijab with the words 'it is a woman's right to be loved and respected whatever she chooses to wear' inscribed across its base. Artist Luke Perry said inspiration for his piece came from speaking to Muslim women in the area who felt "under-represented". #birmingham#smethwick#sculpture#art#hijabi
