The inability to be constant is how I perceive life. The space I meditatively worked with at the time was my bathroom. Fauna and flora lace and patterns symbolized “Ahura,” all that is good and full with life, order and harmony. While Ahriman is the force of opposition.
Stemming from my religious practices of purity, the Dakhma (also known as the Tower of Silence), similar to a drain, became the symbolic object through which I analyzed life, using the fish as a symbol of prosperity. I analyzed life as living and lifeless. The work eventually evolved into a comprehensive study of the effect of time and age, and the juxtaposition between something considered beautiful and the same thing in a different context in time and place, such as hair. This concept of Duality is consistent in all my work over the years.
