About The Artwork
When I Want to Tear My Heart Then Eat My Brain was made shortly after the President Trump’s Executive Order executive order banning visitors from seven Muslim majority countries, including my county of birth, Iran. It was an overwhelming time, with a constant stream of emotionally charged news. Yet the piece itself, in its anger and emotion, is simultaneously cold, charted, and rational – signifying the dichotomy between charged emotion and analytical thinking. The sharp objects in the piece, the scissors and knife, whose purpose is to tear and cut, suggest anger and repressed emotions. The fact that they are held back and suppressed, and do not actually tear or cut, shows rationality as a necessity to survival.
