About The Artwork
This piece is a portrait of Qandeel Baloch’s mother as she says goodbye to her daughter who was strangled to death by her brother in the same house where her parents slept. Qandeel’s body was wrapped and taken out of the house on the bed that she slept on, the bed where she was murdered, and Qandeel’s mother Anwar Bibi, is squatting beside her daughter overcome with grief. Qandeel was a girl looking to escape the poverty and lack of opportunity in her birthplace, she rebelled against her social norms, and murdered for her choice. Her parents supported her lifestyle, apparently progressive among their social construct. They loved her, they were not shamed by her. Her story is incredibly important to all women, wherever we live. Her mother’s grief in the inspiration journalist piece struck me back in 2016, I have never forgotten it. While on my compositional journey of discovering the Squat, I remembered Anwar Bibi, and had to work through her image. As the custom in Pakistan, Anwar’s hair was covered, but I chose to release her hair, to express the full immensity of the situation. Her hair is powerful, and dense with grief.

United States
Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar is a contemporary artist living and working in New Jersey. Her compelling and emotional artworks look to speak to the primitive side of the human existence and how that relates to modern day life. Christine focuses on the female form as her muse, mostly conjured from self-portraits, where she utilizes her body to manipulate feelings of a quiet rage within women in the more domestic interiors of lives not usually viewed as remarkable or unique. She works to search out the uniting thread of feminism in the dark spaces of suburban life, and looks to thrust the spotlight on the unsaid struggles and betrayals of women in our current society. Christine received her BFA from Parson’s School of Design in 1993, and after living in New York City, relocated to New Jersey where she has continuously experimented with mediums having stretched the limits from making her own oil paints to using shellac and iron filings to transforming her work to the mixed media technique she has developed more recently. Her current process uses graphite and charcoal, along with ink and pure pigments brushed or scratched on, along with oil and acrylic paint.
