Unveiling Series #2

1993

Shirin Neshat ’s Unveiling Series #2 (1993, 2025) is a pigment print with silkscreen and varnish seal on paper, depicting a pair of bare feet marked with finely inscribed Persian calligraphy. Hand-signed and numbered in an edition of 161, the work measures 42 x 33.3 cm. The text, drawn from modern Iranian poetry and associated with Forough Farrokhzad , includes the recurring line  man az mardomi ke marâ dust midârand (I am of the people who love me), written in a spiraling composition across the soles. Its dense, stylized script emphasizes belonging and emotional identification, blurring poetic language into ornamental pattern. Rooted in themes of identity, ritual, and the female body, the image reflects Neshat’s ongoing exploration of cultural memory and poetic resistance.
