Argument Reality
In the "Argument Reality Poster", I employed Persian calligraphy as the central visual element, integrating explicit calligraphic text into photographs of women wearing the hijab. The intention behind this design was to create a simple yet sensual visual composition, using the calligraphy as both a material ornament and a vehicle for deeper meaning. For Western audiences unfamiliar with Farsi, calligraphy is often perceived solely as an aesthetic element, reflecting the long-standing significance of text in Islamic art.
In these two Argument Reality posters, the interplay between text and typography is used to highlight the power of language itself. The texts featured are largely transcriptions of poetry by women, offering diverse perspectives from various points in time, both before and after the Revolution. Through this work, the figure of the woman is portrayed as a symbol of empowerment, underscoring the ability of women to govern their own lives—free from Western intervention or external influence.

In the "Argument Reality Poster", the photographs feature Persian calligraphy as a central visual element. I use explicit calligraphic text superimposed on images of women wearing the hijab to create a simple yet sensual aesthetic. The calligraphy serves not only as a visual ornament but also as a medium that conveys deeper meaning. For Western audiences unfamiliar with Farsi, this calligraphy may be perceived primarily as an aesthetic choice, yet it also alludes to the rich historical significance of text within Islamic art. Through this design, I aim to bridge the gap between visual beauty and the cultural depth embedded in the script.

My Decision
In these two Argument Reality posters, the relationship between text and typography underscores the power of language itself. The majority of the texts used are transcriptions of poetry written by women, representing diverse perspectives across different periods—both before and after the Revolution. Through this work, the concept of “woman” serves as a symbol of empowerment, illustrating women's agency to govern their own lives, independent of Western influence or intervention. This reflects a broader narrative of autonomy and resilience, celebrating women’s voices and their capacity for self-determination.
