I enjoy letting people find the symbolism in art by not saying anything about it in presentation, but I'm gonna have to lock the thread if you don't add some content to your post. :colbert:

Sorry, done.
[QUOTE=littleicyman;23224049]Is it supposed to look super cut out and pasted?[/QUOTE]
Well, that's what it is.
I'm confused. :v: Very weird art, but amusing.

It's really not that confusing. The purpose of a niqab is to hide the hair/face of the women and lessen their sexual attraction.
Here's a woman with make-up and a niqab made of hair.
It's worth a thread because OP basically made meaningful commentary art, designed to spark debate.
It looks incomplete. It'd be nice if you had made an entire scene with a college of hair and such.
This looks like it took a whole ten minutes or so to do. Really nothing special about it...

It's really just as much designed to spark debate as saying the definition of Niqab is like you did.
It lacks a message in the visuals. Sure, the hair is going around her in a spiral, clogging her up and whatnot, but it's not really saying that much. There isn't anything implying that it is bad nor good either, it won't provoke feeling amongs many as it's not touching any feelings.
It's not really a bad piece of work, it just needs more work and thought put into it IMO.
If you go to a museum you'll see tons of art that looks shit and like it took 10 minutes for a child with crayons to do. But if you scratch under the surface and ask why, you sometimes find it to be far deeper and more meaningful.
Personally I find this to be a true piece of art. Despite the lack of quality, it has a message, and if the artist is actually clever enough I won't feel over-analytic for finding more than one message.
I agree, the execution could have been slightly better, like ensuring some pieces of white paper would've been cut away and maybe adding something to the background that could walk along the message, but now a days, it's the comment within the art that matters more than the execution of the art piece, and sometimes a poor execution even helps pushing the message forward.
I won't call this bad because it has reason behind it. If it did not, my comments would've looked different.
I personally love it, that art style is beautiful in my eyes.
[QUOTE=Christy;23229335]Sorry, done.
Well, that's what it is.[/QUOTE] Well, it didn't really say that before I posted that. I didn't actually know you cut and pasted some stuff.
what Kagrs and DGG are talking about, THAT is what I love seeing in the kind of art where you have to interpret it for yourself.
But, I have to agree that it feels incomplete, empty, that there's more you could have done with the space, but arguably that void could have meaning of its own in relation to the concept of the woman in the niqab.
...my head hurts.
I love it
I too love it. It's simple and well done. (except the white stuff above her head)

Without the white stuff the border between the hair and cardboard would be kinda low contrast, I think the white stuff is actually quite essential to the piece. Especially since there's the white on the bottom as well that compliment it.
I kinda like it. No idea why though.

Yep. That's exactly why I don't like the white stuff. There is too much contrast, the white stands out more than the eyes (focal point(?)).
It draws the viewer away from the eyes. Contrast should only be used to make the focal point more obvious:
