I have to admit that I am really really fond of these photos and hope it gives you the creeps. I personally of course have a critical approach with this piece, but in no way want to say anything against Muslim's beliefs itself. See this piece the way you want..be it empty bourkhas or not..
You might also be interested in much far older piece "Veil to Silence".

On a sidenote; this small image does not do it justice.
