I SOURCE ORIGINAL,
CENSORED PACKAGING
FROM IRAN.

Packaging in which the women have
been erased. Inked out, individually,
by hand.

I remove the blacked-out figure
from the surrounding image, and
a transformation occurs.

The censor becomes an artist. And the
censored figure becomes a portrait.

A portrait not of a person, but of
absence. Of suppression. A portrait
of a point of view.

The censor, whose job it is to erase,
becomes the person who makes us look.
