The Veil

The Veil Original Paining
Crushed Glass on Birch 48" X 36"

Inspired by the biblical account of Rebekah veiling herself upon first seeing Isaac, The Veil considers beauty, dignity, respect, and self-possession. The veil—the work's only element rendered in crushed glass—simultaneously conceals and reflects. Through this tension, Agoussoye reframes concealment as an act of agency: the choice to determine what is revealed and what remains sacred.
