She says that the face of a woman, unlike the face of a man, is a source of temptation and that was a long process for her to come to this realisation, but in the end she chose to follow God’s will.

She is positioned among seven minarets, designed to look like rockets, standing on the Swiss flag. In the lower part of the poster a short sen- tence looms: “Yes to the prohibition of minarets” (fig. 2). 2 Arena 2013.
