womb wisdom oracle is an ongoing project inspired by my experience living in Iran
WombWisdomOracle
WombWisdomOracle
Project Description
In the WombWisdomOracle series, I am rectifying the blatant omission of the “sacred feminine” from socio-religious texts of patriarchal systems such as Islam and Christianity. I am challenging the exclusive depiction of “males” as divine figures. I am challenging the notion in these texts that sexuality is in contradiction to divinity. I address the rise of the sacred feminine in the dark, old, traditional, religious society of Iran. The "old" is represented in my artwork by Persian miniatures of mosques, ayatollahs, bazars, male prophets, and legends, while the "sacred feminine" is represented by modern "realistic painting of photographic portraits of women."
