Artist Statement:
I was building a world; a world set thousands of years ahead, where time had softened the noise of machines, where pollution was only a forgotten word, where nature had reclaimed its breath and flowers bloomed in harmony, trees whispered in peace, and all seemed complete, yet something was missing!
I didn’t know what it was until one day, I have received a call from my father.
He told me he had mailed me and my partner a few birds he hand carved, thirty of them!
They flew 10677 kilometers, from Tehran to here! And when they arrived, they knew where to go. Each one found its place in the corners of my imagined world, as if they had always belonged.
Now, my future is complete. Now I believe — a thousand years from now, on a distant planet far away in the stars, a father will send his daughter a gift — and it will mean the whole universe to her.
