A GENTLE AND BEAUTIFUL CALL FOR ATTENTION - TENDER, EMPOWERING, SIMULTANEOUS, SENSITIVE, STRONG

MY WORK RESEMBLES A SEARCHING PATH OF ENGAGEMENT AND EXAMINATION OF A SUBTLE CRITIQUE OF EUROCENTRIC ORIENTALISM. IN DOING SO, I ADDRESS A 'NEW FEMALE BODY' AND AN IMAGE OF WOMEN THAT IS LIBERATED FROM BOTH ARCHETYPES OF ISLAM AND THE WESTERN-CENTERED GAZE AND ITS INSTITUTIONALIZATION.
