About this artwork
This is the “Woman in Leopard Print” by Farah Al Qasimi, a 2019 inkjet print on paper. The photograph, part of her Back and Forth Disco series, shows a woman in a bold leopard‑print outfit set against a richly patterned interior. Al Qasimi blends the domestic with the playful, drawing on the opulent décor of UAE homes she visits and the eclectic streets of New York. The image hints at cultural signifiers and colonial legacies, placing the scene in a kind of in‑between space that feels both private and public. Each print is made in limited editions, underscoring the artist’s care for intimacy while offering a wider commentary on identity, taste, and the layered histories that shape our surroundings.
