Part of a 7-piece series exploring layered experiences of womanhood, this work brings multiple symbolic elements into a single, composed space. A central figure confronts the viewer directly, surrounded by symbolic elements that move between protection, instinct, vulnerability, and transformation. Rather than resolving into a fixed narrative, the composition holds these tensions simultaneously. Rooted in my perspective as an Iranian artist, the series reflects femininity as a contradictory and relatively transforming condition.
