Wishes For My Father

4 screenshots from a PDF document

The work was created during the exploration prompted by the Absurd Questionnaire:

I wished

The works were created at home in the second lab on the topic of father/fathers.

The first screenshot shows the prompt in large blue letters – I WISHED

The second screenshot shows a painting of a woman against a blue background.

The third screenshot shows a brownish painted-over carpet with a fire and riders with arrows.

In this piece, I placed a painting over a Qashqai carpet. Typically, these carpets depict men as heroes and fighters. However, in this painting, a woman is portrayed as a hero on a horse, with both the woman and the horse exuding happiness. This addition represents the dream of being part of the story as a heroine.
