Mirrors, 2016.
Sometimes the voice we have been searching for in the outside world, can only be heard in the confines of our own being. My work tries to be a reflection of the last battle of darkness and light, the agonizing moments that extend to eternity before succumbing to the dawn. After the Revolution in Iran, compulsory hijab tied the knots that entangled the daily lives of many Iranian women in a cultural struggle where the female hair braided the chains that held her captive to the headscarf.
