Here, Rustam combatting the White Div, the same vignette as in Malekeh Nayiny’s A Ruin from the Past (see M.2017.13.1), is re-created and repeated like wallpaper behind the horned demon. The humorous playfulness of both these Nayiny prints only partially conceals an implied darkness—the conquering of one’s own demons—and raises the question, whose face is hidden behind the grotesque pink mask? Perhaps it’s our own.
