Description
The concept of "Outburst" centers on the silent resistance of an Iranian woman standing against mandatory hijab laws. This image captures a moment of defiance, where her expression and body language convey a powerful sense of autonomy and inner strength. The loose strands of hair escaping the dark fabric represent a subtle but meaningful rebellion against enforced norms, symbolizing the desire for self-expression in a society that restricts it. The cloudy sky behind her intensifies the mood, mirroring her inner turmoil and the stormy social landscape she faces. "Outburst" is a visual statement about resilience, individuality, and the personal quest for freedom amidst societal pressures. The project aims to humanize this struggle, shedding light on the personal cost of imposed restrictions and celebrating the courage it takes to stand against them.
