BEYOND THE VEIL: Nasreen Shaikh Jamal al-Lail.

"Without sensibility no object would be given to us, without understanding no object would be thought. Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind" 

"All our knowledge begins with the senses, process then understanding ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason."

"In Law a man is guilty when he violates the Rights of others, in ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so."

"A categorical imperative would be one which represented an action as objectively necessary in it self, without reference to any other purpose."
 
 
Kantian quotes and masked faces of several colourfully dressed Muslim women. Exploring the juxtaposition between vivacious styling's and the rigid esptemological references that challenge our preconceptions about the modern role of the veil as well as the individual underneath it.
