In the Garden of Sky and Earth

| 2025

This project imagines a garden shaped by two geographies: Iran and the United States. We collected plants and flowers from both landscapes and used cyanotype printing and hand-applied gold leaf to create a visual space that reflects on distance, belonging, and the layered experience of cultural identity.

 

 

  • Medium: Cyanotype on paper with hand-applied gold leaf
  • Composition: 48 individual cyanotype prints
  • Dimensions:
    Each print: 14 × 14 cm (5.5 × 5.5 in)
    Overall installation: 119 × 149 cm (46.9 × 58.7 in)
  • This is a collaborative project with Hamed Noori.
