Art First Gallery ..>The works themselves - shot in entirely natural light - have a cinematic quality, capturing the gestural movements or carefully posed stillness of the professional model Ates employs as her subject.

Past and present concerns merge as the arabesque tapestries and furnishings of the C15th interiors are juxtaposed against contemporary readings of the veil.
