Bullet Revisited #36 2013

"Bullet Revisited #36" (2013) by Lalla Essaydi is a photographic work that challenges traditional portrayals of women in the Middle East. The image features two women, both adorned in ornate, embellished clothing and headscarves, standing against a backdrop of intricate patterned fabric. The use of gold tones and opulent textures evokes a sense of both beauty and the constraints imposed upon women in patriarchal societies. Through her art, Essaydi aims to redefine the image of women and reclaim their agency.
