Free Will

By Bahar Taghiani

"Free Will" is a symbolic journey of a young woman navigating the complexities of life, freedom, and personal empowerment. Through her interactions with different figures-an old obedient man, a young man of fear, and ultimately a king of courage-she transitions from a place of entrapment and discontent to one of strength and self-determination.

Each character embodies a facet of her inner struggle: obedience, fear, and courage, illustrating her internal battle and eventual triumph. The minimalist style and vivid imagery invite readers to reflect on their interpretations, making it a story about transformation and the pursuit of freedom.

This story is brought to life through handmade illustrations, created with collage, print, oil pastels, and pencil drawings.
