The Legacy of the Past
A girl on top of a hill that dominates the city ,with open, orange hair, an orange bracelet on her arm, and a book by the great Iranian mystic and poet Rumi in her hand. This photo dates back to the era after the "Woman Life Freedom" Movement, is a story of the power and current status of Iranian women who have somehow gained control over the city and urban life. They owe this control to the struggle, intelligence, art, and power that they have inherited from the past, myths, and celebrities of Iran. An exemplary courage that has now made them the kings of the city.
