Not wanting to live far from the historical homeland. Hossaini moved to Afghanistan and settled in Kabul. She taught at the Faculty of Arts at Kabul University in 2018-2019 and traveled all over the country with lectures on painting, sculpture and photography. As a public figure, Fatima paid most attention to women and refugees, whose rights were, in one way or another, infringed upon by any government.

But in one of her most interesting projects, Fatima Hossaini shows not hopelessness and sadness. This collection depicts a woman who deliberately breaks the taboo, comes out of the shadow that has always hidden her, and lives as she wants. She freely drives around the streets behind the wheel, decorates herself and feels her strength. In a society where a woman is prevented from freely demonstrating her beauty, femininity itself is a wonderful challenge.
