Paper Planes

“Paper Planes” captures the essence of resilience and hope. Surrounded by her baggage, a young woman gazes toward the horizon, her star-shaped sunglasses reflecting the dreams and aspirations of those unafraid to challenge the status quo. The paper planes that encircle her are crafted from headlines about the protests in Iran, sparked by the tragic death of Mahsa Amini, which have become a powerful symbol of the struggle for women’s rights and freedom. Each plane carries stories of bravery and defiance, echoing the voices that rise against oppression. This piece is a reflection on the importance of freedom and the ongoing fight for rights.
