Veils is a narrative, experimental short made up of photographs, found and recorded sound, and computer-generated motion. Veils conceal, and their dropping away is a universal metaphor for enlightenment. But with the soul, veils open only to reveal others beyond them, in a never-completed process of resistance, disclosure, and integration. This video, conceived from still images and digitally animated, is a metaphoric reflection on the repressed history and unfinished identity of one such soul: an American Jewish woman with Egyptian roots, now an outsider in France. Peering through the veils toward an abiding radiance, the viewer undergoes a process similar to that by which the artist, in making the work, embraced her incomplete self.
