Description:      A sense of peace radiates from this alluring drawing by Nika. Yet the source of that peace is an interesting subject to ponder. Does it derive from a sense of purpose? Happiness? Simplicity? Submission? The veil, that universally-recognizable emblem of her order, is here anything but. It is transient, in a state of metamorphosis, the only tangible sign of it a strip of fabric gently buoying the woman’s chin. Are we witnessing the weaving of this headdress or its unraveling? We’re left to meditate on the implications of both.
