Description

Gereh Ma is the center of a growing universe ,a visual and symbolic core shaped through entirely handcrafted mirror work, geometry, and memory. At the heart of this piece lies the Persian word “ما” (Ma) ,meaning “we” ,designed in a Tetris-style block formation, symbolizing unity, continuity, and collective presence. The central knot of this piece, titled Gereh Ma, was originally designed and crafted by the artist and has never been used before in any mirror artwork. It is a completely authentic and innovative form, born from a personal and independent approach to geometric and symbolic structure in mirror art. The entire mirror construction is meticulously handcrafted — reflecting not only light, but also deep layers of identity, language, and artistic labor. Surrounding this mirrored heart are four pairs of silver spiral forms, inspired by ancient ornaments discovered in the 1960s at the Tepe Nush-i Jan archaeological site near Hamadan, Iran. These spirals belong to the Median dynasty, dating back to approximately the 7th century BCE. Made of silver, they are believed to symbolize eternity, cycles of life, and sacred motion, and are now preserved in the National Museum of Iran in Tehran. In Gereh Ma, these spirals are reborn — set in symmetrical and animated orbit, as if eternally returning to their point of origin. This motion becomes a dialogue between ancient memory and contemporary expression, between archaeological legacy and personal vision. Gereh Ma invites the viewer into a timeless knot a fusion of handcraft, cultural memory, and futuristic storytelling ,where “we” becomes both the question and the answer.
