🟥Technique: oilcolor A woman stands beneath a veil of Persian carpet, her face hidden behind intricate patterns and woven folds of memories. The familiar motifs of the carpet are more than just an ornament – ​​they become a symbol of heritage, identity and the weight of what is inherited. The delicate crown that sits atop the hijab’s symbolism is a symbol of beauty, of femininity. Against the pitch black background, the colorful fabric becomes almost sacred, transforming fragments of Iranian visual culture into a contemporary and intimate portrait. The work explores the relationship between identity, femininity, concealment and cultural memory – and asks how much of ourselves is visible beneath what we inherit.
