Untitled, Keyhan series, 2017 photographic print on fine art paper (ed.3 + A.P.) 120 x 81,8 cm The series of four large scale photographs entitled Kayhan (‘cosmos’ in Farsi) establish as the consolidation of a life-long interest in Islamic geometry, its notion of a non-figurative description of the transcendental, and my interest in the idea of cosmos and order in dialogue with chaos, always present in my research as an artist. The images were produced at the Atigh Jame' Mosque in Shiraz, in which one of its corridors, presented an outstandingly complex geometry in the process of refurbishment, with no colors and still in the plaster phase with detailed pencils sketches. The work then depicts the pure geometry revealed by the architecture and its profound mathematical relations inherent to it and the spiritual dialogue that they propose, suggesting a timeless and powerful notion of cosmos and transcendence. The work is also made as a celebration of Persian and Middle Eastern knowledge deliberately forgotten and unacknowledged by the West. In that sense, the series assumes a political intention of dwelling in this strong heritage that is timeless and human in its essence.
