If you’re vacationing away this summer…good for you.

Born from the Women, Life, Freedom movement in Iran, this series imagines a post-revolution world where women have broken free — transformed into haunting silhouettes of survival, defiance, and renewal.
At its core, the work is about solidarity, resilience, and sisterhood: no woman is left behind.
A powerful exploration of freedom, resistance, and collective strength.
