Absence (2016) from Hall of Reflections series 2001-on-goingBodies, individually or in groups, are cutout from collected family photographs. What remains are fragments of place; intimate: a backyard, a living room, a bed, a dining table- or in public: a classroom, a bridge, a brick road- that evoke a sense of longing. Absent from captured moments of celebrations or identification portraits, these silhouettes of the invisible hover over the spaces they once occupied, tracing the outlines of their remembrances within layers of time, stranding together new narratives of belonging. Hall of Reflections is a multi-dimensional art project that works with archives of images and stories that chronicle the complex migrant experiences of the Iranian Diaspora in Northern California.
