Freedom of expression is a right often taken for granted in the Western world. However, in many countries, including Iran, innocent people are persecuted and imprisoned daily for advocating democracy, freedom of the press, or exposing human rights violations.
This poster was created in response to the tragic events surrounding the 2009 Iranian presidential elections. It features a politically charged depiction of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the controversial Iranian president, standing before a crowd entirely composed of himself. The colors are deeply symbolic, evoking the memories of the 2009 elections and the civil unrest that followed.
