Laughing

Street
Two Iranian women depicted: one, sporting a short hair hairstyle and clad in a midi dress; the other, embracing a bob cut hairstyle, decked in boho chic attire. They are consumed by laughter as they stroll down a narrow street. With a backdrop featuring the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, this streetscape is captured using strong geometric forms and abstract shapes, paying homage to the early 20th century art movement Cubism, which was known for transforming natural forms into geometric equivalents. The primary medium for this image is oil on canvas.
