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, rooted and dominant culture; the black-and-white depiction of the woman shows how she is left colorless, silent and in the background within this colorful world.
The facelessness of the figure represents the invisibilization of women in the social structure, while the continuation of the background patterns on her body indicates that women are seen not with their own identity, but only as an element carrying culture. The work, with this colorful-colorless contrast, tells of women's search for their own essence in the shadow of traditional burdens.
