I created this piece inspired by the image of a girl who carries, in her eyes, the scene of a man shouting at a woman. Within this work lie thousands of hidden sorrows, the bitter moments that every Afghan girl and woman has witnessed: moments of humiliation, disrespect for her dignity, and the violence of being beaten. I created this artwork to raise awareness in the world about the harsh realities Afghan women and girls endure in their struggle to continue living. May this piece stand as a symbol to amplify the voices of Afghan women.
