Veiled Hearts, 2016
This series is a study of veils. I was interested in why they are traditionally tethered to women and so bound by ritual and tradition that they eventually found their way into everyday fashion, curating what we are allowed to see. These paintings are asking why only women wear veils, and what is their relationship to feminine agency?
