In this series, the female body is explored and recreated as an imperfect yet proud totem of femininity and assertiveness. Although they are fragmented with no identifiable facial features or limbs the women stand with self-assurance and pride. They not only symbolize a generalized image of women but explore female encounters between adulthood and childhood from the transition from a girl to a woman and the way society plays with a woman’s body through unattainable expectations. Through Tawakol’s gaze, a woman is not purely an image of perfection or an idea of the constructed feminine yet is portrayed as strong and assertive figure that stands proud with all her imperfections and her unique feminine qualities, regardless of her face, weight or race.
