Flayed Lamb

Flayed Lamb comes from a series focused on the scriptural parable, but here the central figures of Ibrahim (the prophet) and his son are recast as richly-adorned women. The reversal of the roles, as well as the violence intimated in the act of slitting an animal’s—or a girl’s—throat brings attention to violence towards women, who can often function as a sacrificial lamb on a societal altar.
