This is a portrait of Nika Shahkarami, a 17-year-old protester of the current Iranian Revolution. You can find various videos of Nika online singing, dancing, laughing, and eventually protesting as a teen leader in the streets of Tehran, guiding various teen demonstrators.

 

Our dear Nika, lost her life during a nightly protest from the ruthless gunshots of a revolutionary guard.

 

Hiwa Pahaei, a Kurdish-Iranian-American artist has created her image by assembling 2,400 silk roses.
