Embroidery on Cotton Rag Paper 320 g - Edition of 3 - Hand finished

Edition 1/3

 

This piece reflects the resilient spirit and beauty of the Iranian people. The embroidery features the silent form of Ahmad Shamlou’s poem, which speaks of freedom as a song - small as a bird’s throat, yet powerful enough to dismantle walls and revive ruins. This silent rendering echoes the voices suppressed in the pursuit of liberty.

Symbolizing a nation enduring economic hardship and misrepresentation, yet rich in poetry, the work invites the viewer to see Iran as a mosaic of stories where resilience and hope intertwine with the quiet, persistent song of freedom.
