In fear of the balance tipping toward democracy, Ayatollah Khamenei’s Conservative Faction has arrested, tried and convicted almost every opposing faction journalist in Iran on trumped up charges of anti-regime activities. This series of paintings, accompanying a report on one such journalist condemmed to death, suggests what role his yet undetermined fate may play.
