Curiosity and war led artist
to the Koran
What is the Koran? Does it stir animosity in the United States? If so, why?

These were questions that artist Sandow Birk raised as he began following in 2003 the news of the war in Iraq, a U.S. action that he opposed.

Birk, who grew up in Seal Beach and now lives in Long Beach, decided to study the Koran and paint his interpretations of it.

He learned that the book is strikingly similar to the Bible.
