Photos of Ala Ebtekar's illustrations atthe Lisa Dent Gallery in San Francisco.
The exhibition will end June 25, 2005.

...Whether or not Aahangar's vision and his sketches ever come to life is unknown.
For Aahangar these creations were perhaps an answer to the cry of his own
people. These "super power" beings, whther resembling a man, a woman, a Deeve,
or even Zahaak himself, were going to bring justice back, the same way the
superheroes of our imagination do today... >>> Ebtekar's statement
