In Iranian miniatures, light is a presence within the essence of beings, dissolving image hierarchy and uniting elements. The focus is on the body in awkward places, stitching together future, time,memory, and space like layers of fabrics, video, installation, exploring both the tangible and intangible boundaries of the body. Unusual gestures evoke vulnerability and transformation, asking: How does the body adapt to awkward places? How do war and displacement unwanted pain, trauma, and suffering?
