"From "I Hate Mickey Mouse" (2009) is a mixed media collage by Iranian artist Samira Eskandarfar. The work is a striking and surreal composition that reflects the artist's unique perspective on pop culture and the complexities of identity. Featuring images of a crying woman, a Mickey Mouse cartoon, a hand covering her eye with a flower, and text in Farsi, the artwork explores themes of alienation, disillusionment, and the clash of cultures. Eskandarfar’s collage technique, employing a vibrant palette and jarring juxtapositions, creates a dynamic and thought-provoking visual experience. The work invites viewers to contemplate the power of imagery and its influence on our perceptions of the world."
