Zahra Mohamadi

“I am striving to depict the subjugation of identities and bodies that have been brought into captivity, to narrate their sufferings, to recount the violence inflicted upon them, and to portray the power that continuously stifles the expression of these bodies and silences their voices.”

Multidisciplinary Artist
