Two works: (i) Odalisque; (ii) Feet
Ghada Amer's diptych combines embroidery and acrylic on paper to explore themes of femininity, desire, and the female gaze. In *Odalisque* and *Feet*, her signature interwoven threads cascade across the surface, simultaneously obscuring and revealing figurative forms drawn from erotic imagery. The works challenge Western art historical conventions by reclaiming the female body through a traditionally feminine craft, subverting the male-dominated canon with intimacy and subversive force.
