Living Waters, Ink on Stretched Vellum, 24x30 in.

Living Waters brings together natural forms and cultural motifs to explore memory, resilience, and change. The transparent vellum and visible stretcher grid create a layered effect, suggesting how identity is shaped by both what we see and what lies beneath the surface. On the left, a river flows beside a Persian tree with drifting leaves that hint at renewal and the passing of time. At the center, an Iranian historical monument stands as a symbol of continuity. Fish rise from the water, carrying a sense of vitality, while a quiet figure seated on a rock adds a moment of stillness within the movement. The work reflects the balance between the enduring and the evolving. It honours cultural roots, the rhythm of nature, and the ongoing flow of personal and collective history.
