Forbidden Realm is a game-based allegorical work inspired by the harsh realities faced by Afghan women under Taliban rule, where personal freedom and public participation are systematically denied. In this virtual world, women are rendered as silent statues, frozen in the margins of history. Players embody a masked female warrior who embarks on a journey of combat and adventure, symbolizing the unyielding struggle of Afghan women for freedom and rights. Through immersive role-play, the project seeks to evoke empathy and outrage, prompting reflection on the universal values of liberty, justice, and women’s resistance against oppressive systems.
