Reinventing the iconic Zoroastrian Farvahar symbol and appropriating its meaning to depict the artist’s urge to ‘drop the eternal circle’ of biological procession that has resulted in his own containment within a patriarchal system. Depicted also around this figure are several fertility symbols that were found on archaeological fragments around sites adjacent to Anahita Temples in West Azerbaijan, Khoramabad and Bishapur.
