Cross-Pollination Series :
Inspired by the hidden patterns found on flower petals that guide bees toward nectar and pollination, this work explores the shared visual languages that connect cultures. Just as nectar guides create pathways for exchange between flowers and pollinators, recurring forms, colors, and motifs within the sculpture suggest the invisible patterns that carry stories, memories, and traditions across communities. Through these acts of exchange, distinct identities remain rooted in their origins while becoming part of a larger interconnected body.
Unity in diversity :
This sculpture represents the emigrant’s Tree of Life. Inspired by the Persian cypress tree, Sarv, it is formed from interconnected vessels, each carrying a human life, story, and memory. The empty spaces hold the soul and presence of the homeland, while the unified body reflects shared roots, resilience, and humanity.
