Maryam Najd flips norms and values upside down. Does the presence of a veil disrupt the sexuality of an elegant woman's body? Shedding it does not lead to balance; the eroticism is tensed by a covering up that borders on the aggressive. It seems to be an exercise between virtue and sin. The work's title completes this sense of ambiguity − it does so with incredible subtlety.
