Although Shirin Neshat's work is very focused on politics and religion, I love it for its content. Her combination of black and white photographs with calligraphy makes for powerful, elegant pieces of art. By painting onto the photographs (instead of painting the subject directly and then photographing) she's creates a story-like image which is made mystical and captivating by the calligraphy.
Shirin's work is useful for my 2D course because she shows how the simple combination of two different elements (photographs and calligraphy) can have powerful results.
