Lina Jang's photography reflects her desire to capture the movement, elegance and sensuality of the female form. During a trip to Morocco, Lina discovered Danse Oriental, or bellydance as it is more widely known. The essence of the dance and its dancers reflected the aesthetic Lina sought to capture in her work. The sensual movement of the dance along with the exotic costuming provided a distinct subject for her theme. Infusing her sense of color, tone and perspective, Danse Oriental became the first chapter of "Veiled Visions." Later, Lina expanded this personal body of work to include the female nude, where its elegance and beauty would be enhanced within the context of Danse Oriental. Most recently Lina has looked to Gypsy and Tribal dance for inspiration. Although the gestures, costuming and ambiance of these dance forms differ, they all celebrate the feminine spirit that Lina seeks to represent in her work.

In "Veiled Visions" Lina offers her interpretation of the sensuality and beauty of the female form.
