Inspired by the "women, life, freedom" movement in Iran, it is dedicated to the brave men and women who courageously advocate for freedom and justice. The art is symbolic of searching for freedom, with the words in Persian calligraphy inside the sun and pomegranate, representing new hope. The death of women in Iran inspired a movement that led toward a brighter future.
The pomegranate and blossoms represent spring and new beginnings, while the tulips and poppies below are symbolic of loss and remembrance of the innocent freedom fighters. Hair-cutting serves as a traditional mourning symbol, and women from various countries expressed solidarity by cutting their hair in support. Asiyeh's designs are inspired by Steiner education and often feature characters without defined emotions of mouths, allowing viewers to interpret their own feelings and states of being.
Leaving home in the quest for freedom is seldom a direct journey, but the support of a community can ease the path for everyone. The houses displayed symbolise the multicultural spirit of Tamworth and the assistance it provides to all communities starting afresh.
