Show our heads



I have created this 3D sculpture in response to an article that I have read on CNN.com.
The article told the story of a group of women that were sentenced to 40 lashes (beating) for wearing trousers in a cafe' in Sudan.
It saddened me so very much to read this story.
I gazes at my casual pants that I put on this morning without giving it a second thought and my heart went out to those women who suffer such abuse of basic human rights.
A woman is a ghost in the eyes of fanatic extremist Islam.
But it is our basic human right to have a voice, to show our face and to choose to express ourselves without fear, misinterpretations, or regulations imposed by tradition.
