The title of this photograph refers to a revolutionary anthem by poet and playwright Saeed Soltanpour. His lyrics “the tulips are awake/in the mountain” refer to a flower long associated with martyrdom in Iran and adopted as a symbol of the 1979 revolution. Soleimani’s father sang the song to her as a lullaby when she was a child, transforming the language of resistance into words of care. The image also features Chukar partridges, the national bird of Iran.
