This body of work examines the
uneasy peace between Islamic fundamentalism and profanity in the
brothels of Pakistan.
Pakistan’s little known sex industry survives under a blanket of modesty, pretense and oppression. This
isolation with its paradoxes and inner conflicts drew me in. The sexual
natures of their business interest me less. I find the women proud
despite their stigma, yet deeply modest in keeping with their Islamic
upbringing; a woman sits on her bed, a madam. She recently sold her
14-year-old daughter’s virginity.
