I began this project by brainstorming a controversial subject. I thought it would be intriguing to create an image of Muslim women with hardly any clothes on with only their faces covered in a burqua. I thought of a couple mosques o holy places and came to the site of the Dome of the Rock, which is reminiscant of my first project, only this time, I placed the subjects in the interior on the actual rock that is holy to all three major religions.
First I found the most perfect background of the interior of the holy Mosque. I then looked for female bodies in the positions I wanted them in that would fit to the rock surface. After that, I found Burquas and placed them with the body they went with to complete the image of the women. I then converted the image into a vector-like piece by adding the cutout filter to the image.
The concept for my piece is about the women power and the triumph over the constraints, stereotypes and limitations that the three major religions often place on women.
