The artwork explores the struggle of individuals to relate to their environment and reveals how our subconscious anxieties can manifest as destructive forces.

These transient images may seem to vanish from our consciousness, but perhaps they're frozen deep within our minds—both present and elusive. Throughout the film, a guiding voice leads on a journey to unfreeze these images. A frozen image exists in a paradoxical state of presence and absence, evoking a sense of foreignness. The film delves into how images silently influence and shape our behaviors, often beyond our conscious awareness.

It serves as a means for me to engage with this past, which often feels inaccessible. The work explores the notion of traces left by something that no longer exists, responding directly to this concept. By drawing upon the relationship between the persian garden and the persian carpet with reference to Foucault’s concepts of Heterotopias, the performance seeks to create a space interwoven with a blend of remembered and imagined fragments that hold a genuine and tangible presence.

It is a morbid lightIn which they stand,Like an electric lampOn a page of Euclid. In this light a man is a result, A demonstration, and a woman, Without rose and without violet, The shadows that are absent from Euclid, Is not a woman for a man. The paper is whiter For these black lines. It glares beneath the webs Of wire, the designs of ink, The planes that ought to have genius, The volumes like marble ruins Outlined and having alphabetical Notations and footnotes. The paper is whiter. The men have no shadows And the women have only one side.
