In my over two decades of printmaking experience, I have always been inspired by my surrounding setting. “From the Homeland Series”, created post immigration to England, is the sequel of my artworks with trees as their main subject. Adding old buildings and Persian miniature elements to the trees depicts the change I have been going through both in terms of my individuality and what my homeland is experiencing now. The loneliness and ambiguity of the trees and their surroundings is believed to showcase an imposed void space. These new elements are trying to seize a moment that creates a wide image in the audience’s mind. They are tiny windows to a scene much larger than themselves. They focus on a brief moment in time which connects us to the texture and details of everydayness and recurring emotions. Creating numerous grey tunes using acid application helped express a paradoxical feeling caused by a garden of trees where life and death co-exist.
