Photo-montage 
  

Presence Series: Digitally inserted self-portrait photos into images of paintings which I manipulated and censored exactly according to some Iranian textbooks - In Van Gogh’s, the woman was totally omitted. In Manet’s, all the bottles and glasses on the counter had disappeared, also the barmaid’s neckline had moved up. In Stevens’s, the woman in the bathtub was dressed! - In each piece, my pose is of a "modern" woman, not very acceptable according to the conventions of the Islamic culture
