Artwork Introduction
Untitled reflects an ongoing exploration of exaggerated human interactions and cultural narratives, inspired by life experiences, sketching and observing people in Iranian cafés, which serve as the main subject of the work. This theme, evident in live performances and satirical illustrations, is expressed through oversized figures and vibrant colours that suggest an intentional distortion, possibly critiquing power dynamics or intimate relationships captured during those café moments. The indoor setting with a starry window hints at a blend of reality and imagination, reflecting the lively yet dreamlike atmosphere of these spaces. The work aims to provoke thought and dialogue, drawing from editorial experience and deep engagement with café culture.
