Farahnaz Jalilvand

This artwork is a part of the collection of women's masks in various ethnicities of Iran. Since Iran has a variety of climates, due to different geographical habitats such as mountains, deserts and coastal areas, the peoples have different faces, and according to different cultures and customs, they have different clothing. Iranian women have been wearing hijab since before Islam, but head and face covering, decorations, tattoos on the face are part of this culture and customs. In this collection, the focus is on this diversity and decorations and covering. The masks are vertical and more elongated than the natural form and made of bronze material, and this is chosen to emphasize the strength and stability of women.
