Once I was looking at a magazine that featured
pictures of homes and their decor.

In one of the houses, there was a framed photo
on the livng room wall called "Allegiance with
Wakefulness," a photograph created by the
artist Shirin Neshat. You can look at it here.

It's really mind shaking and incredibly breathtaking
at the same time.

My Iranian friend translated the feet for me. I'll
see if I can find it and post it later.

I wanted a copy of it for myself, but she was a
high end artist and it was too expensive. So
all I have is the page from the magazine.
