Shadi Ghadirian

Untitled from the Like Everyday Series

2000-2001
C-print

183 x 183 cm

Replacing the expected monotone of the black chador with vibrantly patterned fabrics, each portrait suggests a vivacious individuality and character, belying the limitations of stereotype. Similarly, the mundane objects, when transformed into faces, become highly poised and charismatic caricatures, embodying individual personalities.
