In just over three years, Afghan women have been banned from nearly every aspect of public life: schools, universities, most workplaces – even parks and bathhouses. From Kandahar, the birthplace and political headquarters of the Taliban, the group’s leaders have dictated that women must cover their faces in public, always be accompanied by a man and never let their voices be heard in public.

My artwork is driven by a commitment to social change and a response to the systems that limit and silence people. I often think of women in Afghanistan, whose faces are covered and freedoms taken away. I do not know them, and they do not know me, yet I feel a connection and stand in solidarity.
