In WOMEN, LIFE, FREEDOM - III (above,) a pair of carved wood scissors become a frame for a painting of a woman shaving her head and human hair embroidered into an image of a flower. The work is in direct response to the 2022 arrest and beating death of Mahsa Amini in Iran. After her horrific murder, women began cutting their hair publicly to protest the morality laws and brutality used in the oppression of women.
