These works were made in January 2026, in the immediate aftermath of violent protests in Iran and the escalation of conflict that followed. Rather than depicting events directly, they operate as compressed records of a moment in which language, visibility, and structure were under strain.

Fragments of dictionary pages—words such as tyranny, war, public, oppression, riot, and uprise—are layered, obscured, and partially erased. Originally part of a system designed to define and stabilize meaning, these terms are disrupted here, reflecting how language fractures under conditions of violence and control.

The compositions are built from modular blocks that suggest order, containment, and institutional frameworks. Through them run fine, unstable lines—traces that resist alignment, crossing boundaries and interrupting structure. These gestures introduce tension between imposed systems and forces that exceed them.

The works do not attempt to document specific events. Instead, they engage with their conditions: censorship, fragmentation, and the difficulty of making meaning when both information and reality are unstable. What remains visible is partial, interrupted, and unresolved.
