This painting honors the memory of Mahsa Amini, a woman who became a global symbol of freedom and justice. In this artwork, a simple symbol represents her eternal presence: it could be a subtle depiction of her face with its strong features, or the strands of her long hair that once spoke of freedom. Beneath this symbol, her name ‘Mahsa’ is written in delicate, almost tattoo-like script, symbolizing how deeply her memory is etched into our hearts.
Mahsa Amini, born on July 22, 2000, tragically passed away on September 16, 2022, after being arrested and abused by Iran's morality police. Her death sparked the flames of protests in Iran and across the globe, as Mahsa became a symbol of freedom, dignity, and justice for women in Iran and around the world.
This painting reminds us that her name will never be erased, and her cries will resonate in our ears, even as time passes.
