Egyptian Photographer Seeks to Break Society's Taboos for Women

Posted on 03:38 by the great khali
AHRAM ONLINE

"Hiding" by Marwa Adel
 EGYPT -- Born in 1984, Marwa Adel is photographer and installation artist who combines text with photography in many of her projects. Adel explores the taboo of the nude model in her works, where male and female forms are digitally manipulated to hide the essential without affecting the movement. Her use of text accentuates and confirms the visual message. The extensive use of female models is a self exploratory statement about the situation of a female in certain social dynamics. Adel maintains a very personal voice as her work is unique in tackling the taboo of the human figure. Art Sawa Gallery, February 28 – March 12, Dubai DIFC [link]
