HIDDEN CROWNS

March 3 - May 15, 2024

In this collection, Mokri explores the complex layers of womanhood, with particular homage to the defiant spirit of Iranian women who have risen against systemic suppression.

Eve, the archetypal "Mother of All Living," is reenvisioned as the thematic anchor in Mokri's series, representing the primal force and the varied dimensions of femininity. The works weave together narratives of creation, wisdom, and rebellion, as Eve is depicted not only in contemplation over the world's melancholy but also in the powerful act of choice—emphasizing the role of women as creators of destiny rather than passive recipients.
