Description

Mahsa Amini died in September 2022 while in custody in Iran a few days after being arrested for wearing her hijab incorrectly. She was only 22, a similar age to my youngest son. Her death sparked protests across Iran by women and others with many women cutting their hair and dancing in public; actions that are prohibited and that brought great risk to the protesters. They have adopted the slogan Woman Life Freedom and I hope their actions bring change.

My portrait is of Mahsa wearing a black hijab and standing against a background of the green, white and red Iranian flag. It has a solid zinc frame and hand made hanging loops. Her face is a beautiful iridescent glass. The portrait is approx A4 size.

This is a one-off.

I want to make art with purpose and hope this one will raise awareness of injustice, even if only one person who sees it learns something or thinks on Mahsa’s death.
