Melodies of a Realm

Solo exhibition of Maryam Farshad

Opening on 23rd May 2025
On view until 6th June 2025

Our minds reside in an invisible realm, a complex structure that is not only intelligent but also part of a larger reality in which our ancestors also lived. Just as their relationship with nature and their efforts to understand and control what seemed unknown, terrifying, or amazing, plays an important role in what we understand and give meaning to today.
The earth is a bed of simultaneous birth and decay, like a vast spread, and our minds have been in constant dialogue with our habitat since the beginning. We are explorers on the path to deciphering phenomena, and this realm- with its mountains, its cliffs and plants emerging from the cracks of the rocks, and its endless plains -is a space for observing and sharing human experiences. In this realm, the reflection of the peaks, the scorching heat of the desert, and the dense forests have permeated our collective imagination with such elegance, as if in everything there is still a prototype of what our ancestors witnessed before.
Searching between natural phenomena and mythical ideas is like entering a visual laboratory, where forms and signs, as patterns derived from cosmic processes, allow for simultaneous analysis and imagination. Ancient narratives, although not aligned with today’s logic, still create imaginative frameworks for interpreting nature and connecting phenomena.
In the midst of this flow, we come together: to see, hear, and touch the deep connections; to journey into the realm of our collective imagination, where mountains are rising and bones are forming. This collection is an invitation to experience a shared passion, to search through fragments of this realm and to touch base with the consciousness that has flowed before us.
