One Earth, Seven Continents!

The seven doves, symbolic of both the continents and the ideals of peace and friendship, convene in a congenial manner around the Earth, engrossed in enjoyable conversation. Seated in an egalitarian circle, reminiscent of the Earth’s boundless unity, this symbolic representation brings pigeons together without distinctions—no rulers, no condemnation, no differences. Each bird occupies an equal and inclusive space, reflecting the unity of Earth, a collective belonging where none holds superiority over the others. It’s an inclusive embrace of the planet, where they all belong, and Earth belongs to them.

In this symbolic work of art, we see similar motifs depicted on the globe and the doves’ chests, symbolically indicating that the doves belong to the Earth. This subtle yet powerful imagery reinforces the interconnectedness between the avian emissaries and the planet, solidifying the theme of belonging. The shared symbols suggest a mutual relationship, emphasizing not only the physical gathering but a deeper, intrinsic connection where the doves are an integral part of the Earth’s narrative. The motifs become a visual language, articulating the profound sense of belonging that transcends the boundaries of species and continents in this captivating depiction.

Prowling-Second Observation (The another side of the coin)-Upright Collection-Work Statement-Scan Love

In “Scan Love,” a profound exploration unfolds as elongated ceramic tiles converge into the intricate pattern of a barcode—a symbol synonymous with commerce and materialism. Yet, this barcode undergoes a transformative journey, entwined and overcome by the symbolism of ivy, where love emerges to replace what was once a mere price tag.
Love, conceptualized as the universal remedy for all pain, finds resonance in the Farsi word “عشق” (eshgh), derived from “عشقه” (ashaage), meaning ivy—the vining plant that envelops and transforms, symbolizing the mission to surround and adhere. The barcode, echoing the ceaseless rhythm of modern trade, is redefined as a vessel for love, transcending its commercial origins.
In a world inundated with barcodes dictating commerce, the narrative questions the pervasive influence of marketing that shapes desires and needs. Amidst the clamor of daily shopping, “Scan Love” prompts reflection on whether society allocates space in the metaphorical family shopping basket for the essential act of scanning love. It becomes a poignant site where the power and manifestation of love can rise above the tumult of desires driven by power, fame, and expansionism.
