Video performance, in loop, color,  stereo sound, (0.24.09), 2016

Passage aims to explore our journey in life, as we are confronted with our limitations in space and time. A woman dressed in white, folded in a fetal position, struggles in a white and confined space, evoking a sense of suffocation and confinement. The alternating slow and fast movements emphasize the feeling of discomfort and the aspiration to break free from this situation.

The looping video, creating a sense of endless “bodily battle,” challenges the impact of limits and constraints on our lives. White, for me, symbolizes purity, birth, and innocence, but it also represents the hospital environment and can be associated with the psychiatric realm, while also evoking the color of death. For instance, in Iran, the deceased are simply wrapped in a white shroud before being buried.
