The relationship between East and West is a complex dichotomy. Often considered exotic by the West, the Orient has been shaped by centuries of history, art and cultural ideas that reinforce Western stereotypes and fantasies about this part of the world. At the same time, the West often projects its own values and standards onto the East, expressing a desire for Westernization. This desire can take many forms, from cultural appropriation to political and economic domination. This dynamic raises profound questions about power, difference and identity, highlighting issues of representation and the balance of power between the two cultures. In this context, Oriental exoticism becomes both an object of fascination and a tool of domination, reflecting the tensions and desires of the encounter between East and West.
