"In Neshat's work there is always a degree of ambiguity as to whether she is mocking, or wilfully exploiting our ignorance of Islam: our intimacy with the figure of the East, our fantasy of a mysterious and palpable Orient. She presents us with what we may interpret as Islam's exoticism, only to deflate those assumptions by contradicting us. The power of her work then, is in its disarming simplicity, in its bare essentiality... These images destabilise the idea that if something is beautiful then it must be easy to swallow."

Okwui Enwezor, Cream, 1998
