This 1/1 authenticated NFT is part of (Raya & Sakina) series.
Habby has taken inspiration from a notorious criminal case in recent Egyptian history to explore the conflict between traditional ideologies and modern liberalism. The title, Raya and Sakina, refers to two sisters who committed a series of heinous murders against women to steal their jewelry. After committing more than 17 crimes both sisters were arrested and sentenced to death in 1921, which was the first sentence of death in modern Egyptian law issued against women.
The artist explores the execution process and sisterās different reactions; āThe Silentā Raya versus the boasted of bravery Sakina, thus exploring the possibility of multiple convictions leading to the same act.
āTrust, doubt, belief, the relationship between justification and action and which one precedes the other, all are areas I am trying to re-explore through the visualsā, Habby says.
