yeonlee burqa

What can be done, must be done?
Photographer Yeon Lee opened a London show on how women "are categorized in male-dominated societies," featuring one woman in a full-body burqa, apparently with only four holes cut out (two for the eyes, two for the nipples). The Union of Muslim Organizations of the UK and Ireland is kinda opposed to that. The London Paper

I wonder why they're opposed to that? It kind of makes me think of SNL, when they had this sketch (years back) about space aliens who were Women With Eyes on Their Breasts!

Lighten the F up, already! Damn, PC groups ruin everything even stupid modern art. the question is What is the figure was not in a Burqa but a box or a whit sheet or behind a plywood with a nipple hole? would this same group protest? Because that would be the same art...right? and also don't tease by only showing me one, show me both boobies.
