Lot Essay

“Perhaps that’s why I became an artist – my imagination became my sanctuary… a place where I could build a fictional bridge in between myself and my country… re-interpreting historical narratives which I’ve never witnessed but only imagined.”
(Shirin Neshat, Shirin Neshat: Facing History, pg. 11)
