Now

"Contradiction is the conceptual framework of this work, titled "Now." It presents a contradiction to the content of the news article from 2003. The softness of silk contradicts the harsh tone of the news article printed on it, depicting refugees. The news article is overlaid with red Farsi letters that spell the word "جرمها" (crimes), originally spelling "مهاجر" (refugee). In this work, Sha uses multilayered metaphors to expose the treatment of refugees by the Australian government, which contradicts the Australian government's status as a signatory to the Refugee Convention of 1951, committed to caring for and protecting the vulnerable."
