Weaving Strings of Grief, 2022

Cyanotype on Canvas and Crochet Rocks

72” x 288”

“Weaving Strings of Grief” is a collaborative installation with Narges Poursadeqi, created in response to the sociopolitical circumstances in Iran. This fiber-based artwork pays tribute to the resilience of Iranian women and honors those who have lost their lives fighting for freedom. The piece was transformed through the collective effort of the audience: each act of deconstruction became an act of defiance, a thread unraveled from the fabric of oppression. In weaving and reconstructing, new patterns of resilience and resistance emerged.

The installation stands as a symbol of the power within those who dare to challenge the status quo, inviting viewers to contemplate the intertwined threads of womanhood, life, and the struggle for freedom.
