Shadi Ghadirian 'Like Everyday'
Ghadirian challenges the international preconceptions of women’s roles within an Islamic state, her photographs draw from her own experiences as a modern woman living within the ancient codes of Shariah law. Ghadirian’s everyday objects become a group of distinctive portraits, wiping away her identity using these objects (such as irons and frying pans) to create a brand new stereotype-based one.
Her 'Like Everyday' Series was created from the domestic gifts she received after her wedding. Ghadirian’s photos portray an interpretation of housewives, reducing their identities to cooks and cleaners.
Replacing the expected black chador with vibrantly patterned fabrics, each portrait suggests a sense of individuality and character, however restricted by the limitations of stereotype.

My version of 'Like Everyday' is a statement about stereotypical teenagers 'always being on their phones'.
In this photograph my identity has been taken away an replaced with an iphone, also my uniform has the same effect because it does not show individuality.
