This work combines symbols of spirituality with daily acts of womanhood. The engravings on acrylic layers resemble symbols in Islamic art and other spiritual practices, while at the center stands a young girl checking if her shorts are long enough.
For me, this gesture comes from growing up in Iran with the strict dress code. Even after immigrating I sometimes feel that I brought some of those restrictions into my life in the US. I think these small negotiations between identity and clothing for women living under restrictions, is such an innocent act that in their way feels holy to me.
