This blob was the chosen one. I liked how its shape subtly suggested a baby fetus inside the character. At first, I planned to include that idea in the final illustration, but I decided to remove it and add a Persian cat instead to keep the overall theme consistent.

Persian carpets are one of the strongest cultural symbols in Iranian identity — they represent history, craftsmanship, and the stories woven by previous generations. Putting the carpet on Bibi’s back shows how she carries these traditions with her, protecting them and bringing them forward for the future.
