"Converging Territories

In reading "The Women's Swimming Pool," one may try to picture Muslim women being covered, not showing any portion of her body. This is a form of veiling. Veiling itself is controversial in Western perception as it may be viewed as a form of oppression. After all, who wants to be covered completely in the heat? The reasons for veiling are being debated among Muslim women. Lalla Essaydi, photographer, presents an exhibition titled, "Converging Territories" that presents a visual of women and veiling, leaving the meaning to her audience.
