'Pepsi or Coke' series
This series is a product of the photographer’s exposure to the varied cultural milieu of London, possibly the most multicultural city in the world, one of the most evident encounter points of the East and the West. Women in hijabs, and women in excessively revealing clothing are both a common sight in London, as well as in other locations around the world. Both of these images can be seen as an expression of diverse worldviews and are both critically scrutinized in the globalizing arena. This series does not attempt to promote a particular cultural perspective. It invites the viewer to speculate on the beauty of the debate particular to our era. This beauty lies in the wild array of information we encounter, the opportunities this information gives and the choices it allows us to make. This work celebrates choice on different levels whether it is a choice between conservative and radical, modest and flamboyant, high heels or flat shoes or simply between Pepsi and Coke.
