Cover Story
In this country every commercial product is available, but decisions, some of which are good and some of which are bad, are made by the government. The government uses religion to manipulate people by imposing on an appropriate way of life.
The image is a portrayal of a woman which complex of stereotypes. She is perceived as ‘the mother’, ‘saint’ who is sinless, but trapped by the illusion of freedom. Every woman bares her cross and each cross has different color. This colorful spiral of bricks symbolizes life, time, reality, and illusion of freedom.
Now my work is my passion.
