For my Subject Matters Project I decided to chose the subject of the headscarf and Hijab Culture, hence my project is appropriately titled 'unveiling the veil'. I wanted this project to be personal to me and about a subject that I felt passionate about. I started to wear a headscarf when I was nine years old and I have adapted myself to become comfortable and confident in wearing one ever since, I wanted my project to be a personal memoir of my experiences since I started wearing a headscarf, and things that go alongside it such as the social Hijab and how I represent myself as a Muslim woman in the west today.
Mind map
I wanted to create a three-dimensional mind map that could perhaps be made wearable. I created individual words using illustrator and photoshop and then placed around 60 of these words on a silk headscarf using image maker and PVA glue.
All the words on the headscarf are words/names/numbers associated with the Hijab

Studio Shots
This is what my studio space looked like on the first day back after Christmas, all the work displayed in the area was completed over the 3 week break. Over Christmas I also organised two photo shoots, the aim was to to reach 75 different styles of tying a headscarf- I managed to photograph 45 different styles on my model.
