Intimacy Series (2005) paintings, oil and silkscreen on canvas The work looks at intimacy and my relationship with my own body in the context of a reserved Islamic society. The work was inspired by the body’s different gestures, its demeanor in different cultural settings. Based on personal experience, the work investigates the relationship of the body with the society and inevitably the issue of the male gaze is one of the points of departures for the work. Ideas of the personal and the public and the ‘boundary lines’ are tied in with the intricate Islamic designs which hold a symbolic meaning in reverencing God in his all-presence and continuity; simultaneously act to erase / veil social actions. سلسلة العلاقة الحميمة - لوحات وطباعة حريرية على قماش 2005
