Allison Cashin submits Shirin Nashat

Shirin Nashat is an Iranian photographer and film maker.  In the first photo series "Woman of Allah" combines images if women with religious texts.  Nashat pushes the boundaries of taboos in the Islamic culture. I really admire how she takes timid woman and makes them into powerful strong woman.  The way she places Arabic calligraphy makes her figures graceful and effortless.
