What was lost

In the group exhibition titled “Respect to Hafez,” which was initially held in several cities in Iran and then at the Goethe Museum in Germany, the “Respect to Hafez” exhibition is an event featuring the collaboration of several Iranian sculptors with a collection of works by the German artist.

Gunther Uecker. This exhibition was first showcased in several cities in Iran and then in Germany.

My work, entitled “What Was Lost,” is influenced by the environment of an abandoned and mysterious beach on Kish Island, where I often went for solitude. The beach was full of collapsed buildings, rusty iron beams, and cement stained with the rust from the iron.

The artist describes this stage of decay as an astronomical part of the life of everything, a long and fragmented part that is unlovable to humans. There is a hole in this heavy cement cube that resembles a woman’s womb. In this cavity, there is a visible light whose warmth contrasts with the coldness of the cement and rusty iron, offering a promising hope.This piece was sold at the Goethe Museum in Germany.
