Khomeini's Self Destruction, ​2019. Relief print. 12"x12"

This piece was a response to the Iranian riots in Tehran of November 2019. As an Iranian-American, I am painfully aware of the Iranian government's mistreatment of its citizens. In the 2019 riots, the government met the citizens' peaceful protests with violence and anger. Many people were killed following the riots, causing more uproar in the state. This piece is a visual representation of the Iranian government's mistreatment of its people, and it's self-destructive methods and attitudes.
