Within the broad scope of feminism, the focus was on the issues faced by Iranian women and the tragic death of Mahsa Amini. To capture the essence of their struggles and draw attention to their stories, one notable form of protest that gained worldwide attention was women cutting their hair as a symbol of dissent. Using this powerful gesture, the decision was made to depict the anger and outrage in response to Mahsa Amini's death.
In the next step to express protest, the artist wrote a poem on their arm, describing the violent behavior of the police towards the people.
Poem translation:
When you crush someone's pride...
When you destroy the palace of someone’s dreams...
When you extinguish the candle of someone’s hope...
When you disregard a servant.
When you even close your ears to avoid hearing the sound of their crushed pride...
When you see God but ignore His servant.
I want to know.
To which heaven do you raise your hands to pray for your happiness?

The chador is one of the traditional forms of dress in Iran. By contrasting the chador with a dress on which Persian letters are written, the artist aims to protest and powerfully fight for freedom.

Psychological pressure has a counter-effect. This image signifies the patience and endurance of Iranian women under the regime's psychological pressures. The exposure of the woman's body reflects a disregard for the regime's warnings about wearing the hijab. Additionally, a poem by the feminist poet Forough Farrokhzad is calligraphed in Persian on her back.
Poem translation:
How long must women suffer in this place?
Tongue-tied, bound, twisted, and captive, for how long?
