Bullet #18 2014

"Bullet #18" (2014) by Lalla Essaydi is a photographic triptych that juxtaposes a contemporary woman with traditional Moroccan patterns. The woman, draped in a shimmering golden dress, lies on a patterned floor that mimics the intricate designs of traditional Moroccan architecture. Essaydi's work often explores themes of femininity, identity, and the intersection of traditional and modern cultures. This artwork is part of her series "Converging Territories," which utilizes the language of photography to examine the complexities of Moroccan female identity within a global context.
