After 10 years
I made this photo in 21st March 1993 in Iran.
21 March is the first day of Persian Ancient Calendar that named (Norooz).
Norooz means: New Day, New Era...
That day is also the birthday of my daughter.
She was 5 years of age.
With some of white flowers she made a sort of bouquet.
I made a photo from her hand offering the bouquet to the sky.
Later there was a photo exhibition by the subject <Flowers>.
I did send this photograph for that exhibition, but the authorities
in Iran is photo forbidden the photo. When I asked them the reason, they
told that :( God has forbidden showing out the hand of a woman.)
They had noticed the golden ring on the her hand.
I told that it is the hand of my daughter and she is only 5 years old, but they
told: (We are representative of God on the Earth planet and we know what is dangerous for society of Islam. The hand of a
woman with flowers is forbidden to exhibit and doesn't matter the age.)
The authorities of Islamic regime in Iran even were scared of the hand of one 5 years girl offering flowers to the Sky, Heaven, God, Light, Future..
Last year (2003) my daughter gave me an idea. She told that about 10 years ago
you made a photo from my hand and so...
Now after 10 years, make another photo with a flower offering to the sky, and
then after next 10 years another one and so on every 10 years..
Now it is that photo.... again life
