"I produced this image after
opinion I think it draws curiosity
researching into Islam, the Hijab
as their facial expressions are not
(scarf that Muslim women wear),
being shown. So I decided to use my
War, and Persona and Perception in
own hair to cover my face and act as
Islam. The fact that the full Hijab is
a Hijab. The contrast with the lace
worn by women to cover their hair
sleeved top showing skin through it is
and face and is suppose to ‘repel’
a controversial subject as women are
people staring at them, but in my
not allowed to show flesh in Islam”.
