We are the sum total of everything and everyone that has come before us.
This cannot be erased however hard the demolition process is at work.
There always remains a trace and a remanent of what has happened before even if that was an idea as abstract as self image..
The imagery in this new series springs from demolition sites with the superimposition of advertisements, magazine covers and mass media  from my life before the Revolution in Iran, when women were encouraged to be liberated and westernized.
Then came the Revolution.

This collective memory from the past cannot be totally erased, however hard the demolition process is at work.
Despite all the repression that Iranian women have been subjected to, the past residue still remains as rusty fragmented elements in their collective psyche.
