This series aims to explore boundaries of our social context. Living at the intersection of multiple identities as a queer trans muslim of color, through this work, I question the imposed norms, rules, and myths of our cultural and socio-political environment. Through an exploration of the muslim attire, I utilize the method of concealment as a means of liberation. The obscure bodies hidden under niqabs and hijabs, are investigated through series of performative actions. What comes of these performances is a blurred sense of what’s considered acceptable. This allows the viewer to imagine accepting attitudes towards queer and/or trans people -- in the muslim world and more broadly.
