Artist Statement , Birds Waiting The Cheetah Among Branches”

In my recent works, once again, I sought refuge in nature , in trees, in branches, in skies that shelter silent, waiting birds. Birds sitting quietly, anxiously, gazing into the distance perhaps waiting for a glimpse of freedom, a chance to fly.

But this time, within the green silence, a new guest has appeared:

The Iranian cheetah ,with all its muted majesty, wounded beauty, and eyes caught between survival and extinction.

The cheetah, for me, is not just an animal. It is a symbol of all that is being forgotten in my homeland:

Beauty under threat, voices silenced, women unseen, art forced to breathe in the shadows.

This collection is a dialogue between nature and time, between roots and flight, between presence and disappearance.

It is a tribute to what was about to be lost , and a quiet hope that, somewhere among the branches, something may be born again.
