untitled ii rebuilds the central emblem of the Islamic Republic's flag out of plastic toy soldiers — a symbol of ideology reassembled from the instruments of a child's war game.

The soldier is where power first teaches itself to a body: obedience rehearsed, violence rehearsed, a game before it becomes doctrine. Since 1979, that same logic has governed Iran in earnest — a regime treating a nation as a board and its people as pieces, through war, repression, and crisis, from the revolution to the massacres and uprisings that followed.

Built from soldiers, the emblem shows what it really is: the Islamic Regime playing with a nation and civilians lives, and calling it belief.
