DARIUSH NEHDARAN
Artist's statement
'The life of shadows':
When we stand, they fall
When we sit, they crumble
When we walk, they shiver
And when we sleep, they whirl,…….
Facing the wall, back to the window, and looking through the window waiting for the sun to shine, and we wake up, so that they can mingle with the stripes of the zebra crossing, melt in the gray of the road, hiding to avoid the cars driving over them !!
But we never wait, going through the cars, dancing on the zebra crossings, and by the time they make it to the other side of the road,……they are finished.
But they ( shadows ) continue to be, stay, and continue.
Turning the wheel of life, and far from the gray world of men, they live in their black
World, becoming taller and taller.
'Woman':
I whirl in her
I dance in the wind
I spread in the meadows
And in your eyes, I appear, to become a body turning into me, turning into a woman, and turning into a being.
'Praying':
My brother was praying in the altar , when a woman joined him!!
