In these pornography-saturated days, it's easy to forget that, in many parts of the world, the body is still oppressed. New Yorkers can't contain their hysteria when a woman goes topless in the streets; in Tehran, "morality police" detain Iranian women for wearing improper clothing and makeup. The one upside to oppression is that it increases desire. Desire still exists in New York, and it must burn extra hot in Tehran.
New York-based Iranian artist Golnar Adili uses the female body to evoke longing and desire in several beautiful pieces:
A Thousand Pages of Chest in a Thousand Pages of Mirror (2011)
A Thousand Pages of Chest-Curved (2011)
A Thousand Pages of Chest in a Thousand Pages of Mirror-Pink (2011)
