Feminine
For years, I’ve been exploring this question ‘what does it mean to be a woman in this time and culture?’ Actually, I’m on a journey to discover the feminine spirit. I live in Iran where women must wear hijab in public. I wonder how women can keep the true nature of their gender while living in this masculine culture that has enforced them to do something obligatory. I believe women achieve self-knowledge, love, and acceptance when living in choice, respecting their body and mind. I tried to portray the feminine power concerning these reflections in my work.
