This work is titled after a line in the poem by Forough Farrokhzad: I must say something I must say something In the shivering moment at daybreak When space blends with something strange Like the portents of puberty I want To surrender to some revolt I want To pour down out of that vast cloud I want To say no no no. Wikipedia has a list of all revolutions and rebellions in history. I counted 276 during my lifetime. There is an imprint of a stone for each one of them in the painting.
