Tavoos / طاووس

Tavoos is a collection of fragments. A sentimental relic of cultural images, both real and imagined, both in America and in Iran. Nostalgia for a place that I have never seen, yet know and remember deeply. Family photos, film stills, and symbolic imagery, hand transferred using a printing press, layered with Farsi phrases that endure in my memory, sewn together with silk thread.
