This is the first image from a series of portraits that deal with the implicit horizon that the Non-Muslim world views Muslim women with - the veil has often been interpreted as a sign of repression and a loss of identity but Muslim women are strong, sensual, intelligent and successful despite this prejudice. Perhaps now is the time to question this image that has traveled to the Western World. After all, Don't Christian Nuns wear a version of the veil too and choose to bargain their sexuality in service of religion?
