... that this art form is inappropriate. Our respect for Neda and the dignity of the tens of people whose lives have been lost in the recent days should not result in such images. In addition to becoming tools for fanning the flames of passion in our society, it can desensitize us to the tragic loss of life and elevates the loss of one above the many. Has this not had disasterous effects in the past?
Ok, at first I thought you meant that her family would be in danger because of her "martyrdom". She didn't die for a cause directly, so I don't know if that's an appropriate term! Now I see what you mean.
I don't agree. I think Neda's fiance would never have given an interview and stated "NEDA WANTED A FREE IRAN", if he didn't mean to include her views in what is happening following her death. Everyone is exploiting her, sure. John McCain, Reza Pahlavi, Ahmadi, Mousavi, Rajavi - ALL OF THEM. BUT, that shouldn't stop us from countering what they do. If we're silent, we'll let them hijack her memory for either side.
I think the green font gives the impression of Mousavi, but I think it's clear she wasn't on either side.
her fiance said it clearly that she wasn't protesting, she just got our of her car to watch ... and she got shot! ... so innocent! I can assure you that she is remembered by everyone in iran and all over the world!! what makes me upset is that, the "green" people will now use her death for their side and the "mahmoud" people will do this for theirs!.... everyone wants freedom in iran, ... and neda will be remembered for ever! just respect her... and her family! i m sure no one in her family wants to see neda's photo like that used in this "piece of art"!!!!!!
I mean, why? People are inspired by her even if she had been accidentally killed? She wasn't even participating in the protest! They are celebrating her memory key enghadar heyf mord. Why are you upset by this? Neda's fiance even said that she wanted a free iran. I don't understand you. This isn't "using her" this is remembering.
I am sorry but I really hate this, using neda like that!!!! please have some respect!!!! her friends and family will see these works, and I am sure they won;t appreciate it... just put yourself in their shoes!!!!!
I just want to say that this is the revolution of women
I am so proud of Iranian women. Of Neda. Under two regimes, Iranian women have lost out. I am looking forward to a time when the men realize they have been absolutely short in supporting women - 20th century and beyond. Time of the women is here for Iran.
This is very touching work, a hopeful and loving tribute to Neda and no doubt all the others who have lost their lives for Iran. Looks like you haven't been able to sleep much for the past few days, either. Thank you for pouring your energies into creating a message of hope.
