Forugh Farrokhzad was an influential Iranian poet and film director. The first picture is from one of her poems titled "Green illusion" and the second one, is from one of her letters and the notion of “Moving Forward vs. Sinking”, is in both of them. They are both translated into English by me.
I am passionate about Art and it has been useful to me; because Art challenges the constraints of the inside reality of ours that has become desirable. We attach too soon and we get used to, and so we ignore a part of the outside reality, in favor of the familiar inside reality of ours. The challenge that Art causes, can moves the constraints of the inside reality of ours that has become desirable and expanses it, because that has become desirable by our negligence, short-sightedness and weakness; a moving and enthusing challenge that nerves and soothes. And also, this challenge helps you to understand other people's perspective a little more. As you can see, this challenge is obviously helpful in political and religious activism. Because it not only helps you fathom other people's point of view, but it also gives you an understanding and a strength to insist on what is right.
