“Woman, Life, Freedom is a daily practice”

These series are made using more than 50 Iranian women's handwriting, which I asked them to write "Woman, Life, Freedom" in Persian (زن زندگی آزادی). This is the main slogan of the women-led revolution in Iran, which people are chanting in the streets; both the women fighting in the streets and the women forced to leave the country. These handwritings are put together by weaving and overlapping different narratives. I believe that each individual's handwriting is interconnected with those around them. Inspired by my own experiences of moving and feeling a sense of dislocation, I seek to convey the complex emotions that arise from being displacement.

As a daily practice, "Woman Life Freedom" gives meaning to our lives not along, but across and intertwined.
