Hair, Skin, eyes her bossom a widely contested space, territory, what should adorn Her?, how to sit "like a lady" with poise like a dormant Volcano I say? Catastrophe or a tumultuous offering to more life more land ,stretching forth from the lava that was once deemed catastrophic now life giving.

In the next series of work i will be looking at the body as an architectural experience and a language of protest.The study of the body as it relates to Moslem women wearing hijabs, the exploration of the hijab through tent making ,the body as the site .Unpacking cultural systems through studying clothing worn by women namely the hijab which was seen as a form of protest and banned in Iran.
