Since flies supposedly don't like to settle on the blue
Shirin Kouladjie
IranGALLERYCONVERSATION
Regardless of her nationality, social, political and economic background, all women consider a clean and well furnished home a sign of success and happiness.

My collage “Since Flies supposedly don’t like to settle on blue” represents the role of women in all societies and a woman's constant need and struggle to "settle" and to make a nest for herself. Regardless of her nationality, social, political and economic background, all women consider a clean and well furnished home a sign of success and happiness.

Greatly said. Women are people that think that because we have a nice home that everyone around us will think that everything is ok. We tend to make sure that everything is spotless for those coming in from out of town or those more critical family members. We strive to be perfect when it comes to our homes.
