This piece is a profound narrative of a woman's identity, someone who searches for meaning amid the worn patterns of tradition and the quiet of modernity. “هیچ” means "Nothing" because her response might be "Nothing" to the pressures she faces, or perhaps it marks the beginning of her journey toward freedom. The painting is an attempt to reflect the identity, pain, beauty, and resilience of women who navigate between past and present, between voice and silence, in search of their own path.
