Colors and Shapes of Ballet
Fourth Year Thesis project at OCAD university
Prints, Animation
In this work, I use real archival photographs combined with Persian carpet motifs to create collages that explore the act of censorship. Simultaneously, the work reintroduces distinctly Iranian shapes and patterns into the realm of ballet and opera, in which at the time were considered a western art form. These vibrant, culturally rich elements bring color to the black and white images that fail to really capture the grandness of this part of Iranian history of performance art.
