The handmade collage, "Arabian Nights", uses paper and watercolor to create a mesmerizing visual display. The collage features a delicate figure standing in a pose that seems to be lifted from the Ottoman Empire, reminiscent of the Arabian Nights. Her undulating pose mimics the semi-circle of the moon above her, creating a sense of harmony and balance. The woman wears a brightly colored red and blue crown or cap, capped off with a curving white feather, as well as matching red and blue earrings and a brooch that covers her forehead. Her black curls continue in serpentine or s shape from her cap to her chest, creating a sense of movement and flow. In contrast to her colorful headgear, her dress is a simple beige and cream color, elegant and satin-like. The moon, made of pieces of paper that resemble gold, stands in an s shape, almost as if dancing, while the blue sky is rigid and square, as if made of square tiles. The juxtaposition of the curving moon against a rigidly square sky replicates the juxtaposition of colors of the woman's head dress versus her dress. The colors of the woman are in contrast to the aqua blue and gold yellow of the sky and its objects. Overall, the collage seems to convey a sense of elegance and beauty, as the delicate figure and the intricately designed moon and sky create a mesmerizing visual display.
