scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series consists of drawings, primarily black ink on paper, but some feature colored pencil work as well. Subjects include the political commentary and satire for which Mohasses is best known, animals and street scenes, and drawings inspired by Bijan Mofid's play Shahr-e-Ghesseh. Drawings also range from more complete, complex works to sparser and perhaps incomplete pieces.
