Thesis - A Tale of Separation (بشنو این نی چون شکایت می کند از جدایی ها حکایت می کند - مولانا)

This thesis examines resistance to colonialism and imperialism through a sculptural installation integrating painting, gilding, and projection. Drawing on Persian poetry, Islamic mysticism, and architecture, it stages the material world as a site of division while proposing resistance as a collective, sacred force. Influenced by Persian miniature and the chaharbagh garden, it evokes a metaphysical realm where visible and invisible worlds coexist.
