UN-VEILINGS
La Maison De Rumi was established as a creative artlier and platform showcasing glimpses of Alicia’s visual photo documentation project on The Resurgence of the Divine Feminine in Arabia
Alicia’s desire to create dervishes had to do with dreams that came through the Masters of Wisdom. On more than one occasion, art was shown to her and as a result her desire to create unique dervish characters became somewhat an obsession.
Her desire to house the dervishes in royal palaces and homes of the mystically gifted translated to pure manifestation.
In 2017, Alicia’s art reached royals, Prince Turki Al Faisal of Saudi Arabia, the Sultan of Brunei.
2017 Commissioned art works for directors and producers: Augusti Villaronga, Andres Gomez and Stewart Sutherland.
2020 more of her works depicting Arabized dervishes reached the Royal House of Al Qasimi in Sharjah; HRH Mohammad Al Qasimi and Jawaher al Qasimi.
2020 Alicia was commissioned to create art for the house of Sharif Al Hussain’s family in Saudi Arabia and distinguished personalities including Shams Friedlander, Haroon Sugish, Faruk Aksoy and Seinsei Bin Zager.

Photo Documentation Project on The Resurgence of the Divine Feminine in Arabia
Explores the multifaceted spiritual dimensions of the female. The female desires equality, harmonious participation, and inclusion in all areas of life. The female has always been an object of great desire and curiosity. The female defies being sexualized and objectified by society and government. Moreover, religion has for centuries been interpreted and ruled by males. Males are on the frontlines of religion and rule. The evolved female expresses distaste and aversion to a masculine interpretation of law and doctrines. Hence, a new breed of women, the evolved femme, desires to break away in total and rediscover the Divine through her eyes, her heart and her connection to nature and the God within. She now is the redefined leader in her own right of both secular and religion interpreted through the femme. The soul of this femme unleashes herself through a rebirth. She is the embodiment of Divine Energy. As the select gender to birth, she harnesses her inherent Divine powers to co-create a new world.

Through photography, my art and poetry, visitors gain access to my Divaan; the inner courtyard of my heart. Akin to a walk-through my soul, entering into the inner realms exploring the above themes through a combination of photography, art, and poetry. The experience helps to engage the heart guest in exploring the similar themes within their own being. For any society to flourish and reach great heights of conscious awareness, the birth their spirit becomes mandatory.
Oppressed spirituality has lead to a new breed of disharmonized females and a disharmonized society. The prolonged creative oppression further aggravated a desire for the woman to birth her soul, a desire to be set free. In the process, she became a poet, writer, mystic, dancer, lover and essentially an evolved Soul Artist. Through a full embrace, passionately and compassionately, she unveils herself to all, subtly, discreetly and fearlessly.

In silence I walk through these
arched paths
In silence I absorb the unspoken through these
walls
feeling into history what we
failed to witness
In silence I became a silent witness
(Fuschia)
I choose silence over words
I choose reflection over discussion
I choose being over talking
I choose heart above all
(Iznik Blue)
You sought my presence
and began to utter
I chose silence
so sound echoed
itself to you
a dialogue between
your thoughts and you
I became awareness in this silence
invisible yet present
in your presence
as spiritual essence
alone with yourself
essentially you
(White)
Present with silence
sound manifested
silence dissipated
a constant conversation between
silence and sound
