The Theme for the exhibition was chosen from the collection of tales of 1001 Nights.

dixit : “I choose the story ‘the lady and her five suitors’,based upon the “original” translation of the Arabian Nights into English by Sir Richard Francis Burton.

It is an Arabian Story about Love, Sentuality, Boredom, power and Envy.”
