21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Colorful Covers

The clothing of local women in Iran has a special harmony and homogeneity with the environment of their living area. The local woman chooses a curtain whose various colors are inspired by the heart of nature and the nature-oriented spirit of man. These colors become a bridge to connect the female body with the nature that is the supplier of these colors and with the human spirit that has followed the path of evolution from the heart of this nature. Meanwhile, in big cities, as people move away from nature and the society becomes more industrialized, colors gradually lose their role, and the world of women becomes black and white with that gentleness of soul and beauty.
