In this section, the following pieces are presented:
"There is a Home in my Heart", 2023
This project is about what we associate with the word "Home" and what it means to immigrants.
"Time", 2022
"Time" showcases a gallow with a rocking antique clock pendant, lyrics from the song "Time" by Pink Floyd are embroidered onto the base. This projects explores the passage and loss of time as we age, and how losing ourselves in keeping track of it, we fail to enjoy every moment, leading to our inevitable end. This project was later presented in the student section of the exhibition "Contextile" 2022, held in Guimarães, Portugal
Dimensions: 1m x 75cm
"Chime of Freedom", 2024
This project addresses the strict censorship of music in Iran, by representing a faulty Setar, hung up by its strings to the keys, and then to the ceiling. The soundbox is covered by tree bark, and the poem "Ossian" by Forough Farrokhzad is written on the back, in Persian. It translates to:
"Don't seal my lips shut
For I have to tell you my secret
I will tell the people of the world
the fiery reverberation of my song"
Dimensions: regular Setar
This project was shown in "Carré Rouge" exhibition, at the VAV Gallery, Montreal.
