Tooba
Shirin Neshat 's Tooba is a striking c-print from her celebrated Tooba Series (2002), inspired by the novel Women without Men by Iranian writer Shahrnoush Parsipour. This signed photography edition features a group of figures standing around a large, sacred tree symbolizing the feminine tree of paradise from the Koran, a powerful motif in contemporary political art exploring themes of refuge, transcendence, and women's struggles in conservative societies. Filmed in color near Oaxaca, Mexico, Neshat's poetic allegory blends magic realism with minimalist elegance, creating a limited edition artwork that bridges documentary photography and symbolic narrative. The tree becomes a source of strength and sanctuary, rendered with the visual precision and conceptual depth that defines Neshat's internationally acclaimed practice as one of the most important contemporary artists addressing gender, identity, and cultural displacement. Why collectors choose this work: Hand-signed photography by Shirin Neshat, museum-quality c-print, iconic imagery from the Tooba Series , and a significant example of contemporary political art that combines feminist themes with poetic visual storytelling.
