The father's name:

This collection of watercolors are painted on forms and laws that highlight the view of women as second class citizens under the Islamic Republic of Iran. The texts consists of hurtful phrases that society tells women everyday. All forms of different purposes ask for father’s name. This has been highlighted through the use of red. Women are bound to laws that constantly degrade them and need to ask for permission from their father or husband for basics like to leave the country or to work outside of the house after marriage. These are also inspired by my own experiences as a woman in Iran.
