My work is an exploration of my childhood memories of Iran, rooted both in my personal memory and, at times, shaped by collective memory. Giving form to these memories allows me to preserve an image of Iran one that is sometimes idealized.
Die Musterkollection is an invitation into a garden, a place of serenity despite the turmoil of the world around it, where my memories unfold.
The patterns in my pieces have been taken out of context; they are now merely details belonging to a lost whole. Each work is a fragment of a memory, with the garden serving as the binding element.
The diversity of materials and techniques expresses the plurality of my feelings. This approach is an attempt to reconnect with and preserve my memories as best I can, while accepting their fragility, their incompleteness, and their fading with the passage of time. With this installation, I seek to showcase the generosity of Iranian culture; it also expresses my ambivalent feelings regarding the current political context.
