This installation is about family disintegration and is dedicated to my father who was a Sufi.
The disintegration took place during the Iran and Iraq war (it is ironic to talk about it now as there are other wars going on in the Middle East!)
I made a shrine in the shape of a hexagon (the shape and colour are symbolic) to put all the images in. I carved my father’s script (a section of a letter to me) into the wood. There is light and music, which is shedding around the object.
The photographs of the family hang inside it and you can see them through the carvings. Each image is stitched and inserted into a little parcel. Each parcel looks like a prayer.
The photos of the family are brought together creating a fantasy. The light shining through the carved letters, dances around the box resembling a Sufi’s ritual dance.
