BILLS OF STRUGGLE

In this poignant addition to the "TILES AND TAILS" collection, I depict TinTin not amidst the traditional backdrop of Persian tiles, but rather on the currency bills of Iran, serving as a powerful commentary on the economic challenges faced by the Iranian youth. Each painting captures TinTin's presence on the low-value currency notes, symbolizing the pervasive impact of Iran's economic hardships on its younger generation.

Against the backdrop of these banknotes, TinTin's iconic figure takes on a new significance, embodying the resilience and struggles of young Iranians as they navigate a landscape marred by economic instability. Through detailed brushstrokes and subtle nuances, I portray TinTin amidst the intricate designs of the bills, surrounded by symbols of commerce, culture, and national identity.

Through this visual juxtaposition, I aim to draw attention to the profound implications of Iran's low-value currency on the everyday lives of its youth. Each painting serves as a poignant reminder of the economic hurdles faced by young Iranians, highlighting the need for awareness and action to address the systemic challenges that hinder their progress and prosperity.

BILLS OF STRUGGLE

As viewers engage with these artworks, they are invited to reflect on the broader socio-economic realities impacting the lives of young Iranians and to consider the urgent need for solutions that foster economic stability and opportunity for all. Through TinTin's presence on the Iranian currency bills, this collection shines a spotlight on the struggles and resilience of a generation caught in the crosscurrents of economic adversity, urging viewers to contemplate the human dimensions of Iran's economic challenges and to advocate for meaningful change.
