The Falling Fall

Hi, guys! Could you please make this post sound natural?

The ecosystem has always been an inspiration for my art; from the literary works of my ancestors to the political and social situation where I live, to a tree in my backyard.

I use handwoven crafts made out of palm leaves in my pieces. I learned this technique from my father. This family technique is common in my neck of the woods, the south of Iran, and some parts of the Middle East that are home to an abundance of palm groves.

This piece is called “Falling Fall” because I created it through the fall/autumn of 2022, after Iranians rose up following the death of Mahsa Amini while in police custody, when the streets were spotted with blood. This was another inspiration from my circumstances.

I usually use the technique of weaving palm leaves in my pieces. I used paper yarn in this work. The process involved in creating this piece was based on an attention to the temporal dimension, and, as such, it isn’t limited by time or space. I created this piece over the course of three months. The lightness of this work evokes autumn winds to me. I used this material for its lightness, colorfulness and fluidity.
