Huffington Post: Burqa Fittings By Marie Rim To Tour 50 States... And More Arts News

According to the artist, gazing upon oneself in the mirror is just as powerful as actually wearing the piece: "People respond to the disorientation, the sense of blurred identity seeing yourself in the garment of another culture," she told the LA Times.
