Carved Kinship VR

"Carved Kinship" is a multimedia installation that combines physical sculptures, paintings, and a Virtual Reality game created in Unity. This project represents two years of exploration into themes of femininity, heritage, and our connection to the natural world. Traditional craftsmanship is integrated with contemporary technology in this project. "Carved Kinship" is an extension of my paintings where the viewers can walk in the world I create in my paintings. It revolves around our relationship with nature through the lens of femininity. Inspired by my Iranian heritage, motifs such as Persian carpets and historical monuments are intricately woven into the artwork's fabric. These motifs serve to underscore the intergenerational connection to heritage and identity, prevalent not only in my paintings but also in the accompanying VR scenes. Similarly to my paintings, I have made the melting Persian Carpets, symbolizing the transience imprint on the planet and the transience of human structures.
