Shirin Neshat’s striking Tooba Series (2002) is a still from the artist’s two-channel video installation of the same name, which features an image that references the sacred tree of paradise from the Koran. Neshat’s interest is in foregrounding the struggles faced by women in traditionally male-dominated conservative societies.
