Rokeya Sultana (artist)

Madonna is a movement, she is vulnerable because although she is a peacemaker, she is prepared to fight. She is a symbol for all women. She changes throughout time, but she is forever performing the same role. 'Madonna' is a symbol of protest against an unjust society. She is always draped in a magenta shari, because I want to show that she is feminine and rooted in our own traditions, her rebellion is deeper. The colour, magenta, is a symbol of transforming negativity through the feminine psyche. Magenta is on the verge of being an aggressive form of red, but it is softer, more playful and more positive. 'Madonna' is every girl and every woman.
