Mahnaz

'Mahnaz', which means beauty of the moon is an artwork from my 'Unidentified' series. In my digital artwork, the central figure, portrayed as a bold and fierce woman, stands tall and commands attention amidst a background of vibrant colors and intricate textures. I aimed to convey the power of self-belief and the transformative journey of a woman who embraces her strength, strangeness, and wildness. "Her mother told hershe could grow up to beanything she wanted to beso she grew up to becomethe strongest of the strongthe strangest of the strangethe wildest of the wildthe wolf leading the wolves." -Poem by Nikita Gill, from Fierce FairytalesOriginal artwork by Aashna Bawa.
