Happy Christmas

This work addresses the erasure and disregard of women's identity in the traditional world. While the colorful carpet motifs in the background symbolize a vibrant, deep-rooted, and dominant culture, the depiction of the woman in black and white shows how, within this colorful world, she is left colorless, silent, and in the background. While the facelessness of the figure represents the invisibility of women within social structures, the continuation of the background patterns across her body points to the fact that she is seen not as an individual with her own identity, but merely as a vessel carrying culture. Through this contrast of color and colorlessness, the work tells the story of a woman's search for her own essence in the shadow of traditional burdens.
