Pervert

This piece is a combination of abstract forms and Pahlavi writing characters, that I want to resurrect in my art-making practice in order to unify the Kurdish language(s). It is an attempt to bring storytelling to the artwork by incorporating calligraphy, as I believe that narrative gives an extra dimension to the art as well as being a symbol for rediscovering my identity. This piece is an attribute of my struggle living in northern Iraq. When I was 22, I was caught in a relationship with my neighbor in a small village that love was prohibited.
