Interesting Artist

Since I've been lately immersing myself in all things art (even more than usual), I thought I'd share this really interesting video I came across, about a French graffiti artist who calls him/herself Princess Hijab, and whose work relates directly to the ban on burqas in France, but also speaks quite well about the enduring and surprising power of the image in contemporary society, something I think we often underestimate in our visually-overloaded daily lives.

New York!

I'm back in the Big City, starting my foray into the exciting world of grad school - wish me luck, more updates soon!
