In many South Asian countries, during airport security, a simple pat down is concealed behind a curtain. I am interested in the protection, policing and politics of South Asian female bodies. I see these airport security curtains as imposing objects that society is silent about because they symbolize the hyper-visibility and invisibility of female sexuality in the public eye.

Airport security sign reads:
Absolutely No Liquids Allowed:
No perfume, no gels,
No moistness, no indulgence,
No narcissism,
No deprecation of self,
No scandal,
No hate rhetoric,
No threats,
No heroism,
ETC. No playing the villain in a narrative that precedes you. (Materials: Bread and henna)
