Mother and sisters of Delara Darabi at Golestan Gallery in Tehran. They are very worry for the possible execution of their sister/daughter.
Delara Darabi, 20, was sentenced to death three years ago. Now she tries to defend herself by painting. In her exhibition at Golestan Gallery Oct. 20-2006 she wrote: "these paintings are my swear to what I have not done. So maybe colors would return me back into the life."
Some of her paintings are done using only her fingers, nails, and a black color in the dark days of her loneliness in prison. In her first trial, she claimed that she killed her cousin so she could save her boyfriend’s life.
