into the shadow

Suffocation. It’s not a common concept for all. Suffocation doesnt always mean lack of oxygen for everyone.
The air of here is filled by oxygen but not enough for a dancer.
The dancer needs space to dance
We, the iranian girls, have decided to dance beside each other in darkness, to save ourselves from suffocating.
Darkness is our dance space
perhaps the only safe place...
