Sydney artist Phillip George poses with two surfboards of his own design at Marks Park, Tamarama on December 16, 2008 in Sydney, Australia. George designed the range of 30 “Inshallah” or “God Willing” boards in response to his trips to the Middle East, and to the Cronulla Race Riots in 2005, in an effort to create a lesser divide between East and West. As an artist, he decorates the boards with Islamic motifs and iconography from the historic mosques he visited. His boards are exhibited at the Casula Powerhouse arts centre in an exhibition called “Borderlands”, with all boards facing to Mecca. (Photo by Don Arnold/Getty Images)
