Blinded, Rabat, Morocco, 2006

The Jellaba is the traditional loosely fitting, wide-sleeve hooded garment worn by both men and women in Morocco. These were on display in Rabat’s market. I noticed how the female mannequin in one of them was virtually blinded by the hood. To me, it was an apt metaphor for the traditionally subordinate role of women in Morocco.
