The Woven Bodies 3 (Woven Series)

The Woven Bodies Series. I am floating in blood. Innocent people are being executed each dawn. Their eyes will not leave me, their enthusiastic eyes, that are filled with hope. My body is woven in the pains and suffering I perceive from their traumatized bodies. I feel smothered by my sympathies. I repress the anger inside my body, the anger that comes from the sense of being helpless in my existence. For The Woven Bodies Series, I incorporated my body’s silhouette from the Evanescence Archival Performance Series (a photograph series conveying kinship through land and identity. Around 700 photos were taken while I was moving unconsciously with a Persian carpet covering my body), to make the floral patterns of Persian rugs’ various designs, by digital collage in Photoshop, and woven by jacquard loom, to evoke the carpet’s embodiment for the audience, and resonate with the interwoven pain in my body. My body is repeated between the textile patterns of the Persian Rug and the photo-documented performance act of being covered by the rug itself. The photography series brings my body's unsettlement, isolation, and suffering into the work.
