The complex narrative of Pleasure Pillars (2022) crosses cultures and temporal dimensions as it mediates the space between two distinct artistic processes, one rooted in a deeply traditional practice and the other spontaneously of the moment.
This work showcases Shahzia Sikander's exploration of recurring themes, including feminism, female sensuality and eroticism. Pleasure Pillars highlights Sikander's mastery of the inherent dichotomy in her work as she celebrates these themes while deftly critiquing and resisting their fetishization.
