My work draws inspiration from Shahnameh – The Book of Kings, where timeless tales of heroism, conflict, and wisdom unfold across myth and history. These narratives are reimagined through a delicate visual language, beautifully painted and meticulously engraved on gliding foil, allowing light to interact with the surface and reveal shifting layers of meaning. Within this reflective ground, the lotus emerges as a quiet yet powerful symbol of peace, harmony, and inner balance—rising gracefully amid struggle and transformation. By merging ancient Persian storytelling with refined material processes, the work creates a contemplative space where past and present meet, inviting viewers to reflect on resilience, spiritual calm, and the enduring human search for equilibrium.
