She Who Grows Through Silence by Muriel Lherm
She Who Grows Through Silence by Muriel Lherm

In a dreamlike field, five women stand, radiant, still, rooted in a shared strength. Each one carries a different emotion, a different season, a different kind of support. Together, they form a quiet sisterhood, the kind that holds you through joy, grief, doubt, and hope. Because sometimes, the courage to continue comes not from within, but from the gentle presence of those who walk beside us. We all need friends, one for each day of the week. Women who have strong friendships live longer, love deeper, and endure more.

The painting is alive with the energy of the rural landscape, as a family carries a sparrow bird, symbolizing the connection between urban and rural life. The sparrow, excited by the freedom of the open skies, takes flight amidst the stunning scenery; the painting is a symphony of colors, where the golden hues of morning caress the petals of sunflower flowers, its wings beating in harmony with the family’s elation. As the bird soars, the child’s laughter echoes the family’s happiness, encapsulating a moment of pure bliss against the backdrop of a serene morning. And the laughter of children resonates with the promise of a day filled with wonder. Through the eyes of the child, we see the world anew. Their innocent joy is a mirror to our own forgotten delight in life’s simple treasures. As the family watches the sparrow soar, their hearts lift in unison, and we are reminded that happiness is a journey shared, a path woven with the threads of love and the wings of freedom.

Outburst Moments by Artist: Fatemeh hajiabbaszadeh

Munir lived during the Qajar era. This woman's experiences in life will be expressed in various paintings. In this painting, she expresses her experience about the time of decision. Sometimes people do not act on time and this makes them pay for it until the end of their lives. Like hands clinging to a hard wall to find the right position but finding it impossible to break through, like a butterfly trapped in a ruined house among spider webs, perhaps some things can be kept in a container containing alcohol to stay fresh forever, but alas, the time for liberation is over.

DOZHAM Fatemeh hajiabbaszadeh

DOZHAM It is an original Persian word. aperson who is sad, angry, and homesick at the same time Reviewing memories and events that are common to everyone may sometimes be sad and sometimes happy, but there are events that are definitely common to everyone, such as betrayal, falling in love, and losing someone in life. They cause us to experience several emotions at once and experience a very unknown feeling and not know whether we are feeling good or bad. And you want to fly out of your brain like a bird and get rid of this feeling and experience the feeling of emptiness and purity of memory. It's like waking up from a nightmare, and how delightful that feeling is. And this is a sweet ending.
