 This is a basic representation, displayed through my photography, of the oppression of women.
This derrives simply from the physical appearance of arabian women who are restricted to wearing garments over their faces, to shield their beauty from males, and furthermore be oppressed by their culture to not express or display their individualities or "self"
We must not forget just how lucky we (women and men) are. Freedom of self is a freedom i will take with me to death.
Self -portrait.
Hope you like it.

Wow Great shot! The eye's have it!The only tiny thing I can see that could improve it (imho) is the shadow under her left eye as we look at the photo everything else is great! GL
