"My Internet Tale: Hijab Movement in Iran 2," ceramic tiles, photographs

"This installation is made from more than 3,000 Internet photographs mounted on ceramic tiles of Iranian women wearing Hijab. It portrays the women's sexual movement in Iran and their progress from total and seemingly lifeless restriction to colorful burgeoning change. Each photograph tells a different story, a story that has many more hidden stories. This is my story."
