Bullet #11 2014

"Bullet #11" is a photograph by Lalla Essaydi, a Moroccan-American artist, created in 2014. The work features three women dressed in luxurious, sequined garments, posed against a backdrop of intricate Moroccan tilework. The women's expressions and postures convey a sense of both elegance and defiance, subtly challenging traditional notions of femininity and beauty within a cultural context. This photograph, like many of Essaydi's works, explores themes of identity, representation, and the female gaze within contemporary Moroccan society.
