Digital art and AI-generated images of protesters killed in Iran have flooded social media, turning victims of recent unrest into national icons. The images have helped create a shared narrative for a public mourning thousands of deaths during the crackdown on Jan. 8 and Jan. 9.

The protest movement has moved beyond statistics, ensuring that stories of resistance continue to circulate. The legacy of the fallen is not buried; it lives in every young Iranian who stands firm before gunfire.
