Sa'rah "Rah" Melinda Sabino is a Moroccan-American multimedia artist and footwear designer from Boston, based in Portland. Her work moves across painting, sculpture, and installation, exploring identity, duality, culture, and belonging.

Her commission for Egypt centers a woman wearing her national team's jersey as a hijab, transforming a symbol of sport into one of identity, protection, and pride. The phrase Mother of the world runs across the wall in English and Arabic, a longstanding cultural reference for Egypt that honors women as carriers of history and belonging. Sabino's jersey-hijab works as a bridge between cultures, reframing sport as a space of layered identity and quiet resilience.
