Signification
To change completely, often in personality or appearance.
Contexte culturel
In the poetry of Rumi (Molana), 'shedding skin' is a metaphor for the soul leaving the body or the ego to unite with the Divine. The theme of 'metamorphosis' is common in Iranian films, where characters often 'come out of their skin' after a social or political awakening. The concept of 'Tahvil' (turning/transforming) is central to Nowruz. Iranians believe that as nature changes its 'skin,' humans should also strive to come out of their old, negative habits. The 'skin' is seen as a veil (Hejab). Coming out of the skin is the process of 'Kashf' (discovery) of the inner truth.
