Azizah Ali reflects on the restaurant doors depicting Sheikh Amadou Bamba and Sheikh Ibra Fall. She draws on personal, spiritual, and historical associations with doors as symbolic portals—spaces of entry and exit, legacy and transformation. Referencing the Doors of No Return and the Islamic teaching of Sadaqah Jariyah, Ali sees the artwork as a reminder to live with intention, to honor those who came before, and to bless one’s comings and goings with purpose, beauty, and enduring impact.
