Borders & Boundaries Every
individual is important. Let’s
see our similarities rather than looking for differences. We
fight everyday. We fight
for our beliefs. Let’s
not kill each other for our faiths. In
my artworks I tried to show similarities and show the importance of our
beliefs. The building block for each scenario is a mother and a child.
-- I purposely used same mother and child for four different religions
to show people's similarities. Although
the mother and the child are the same in each scenario, the religious
environment is different. The artwork describes the transmission of
our beliefs to the next generation. --The way people raise their
children in boundaries. The child nudity represents the purity and
innocence that will be covered by human believes during the adulthood.
At the end a circle will show the religion loop that most of us
need to learn how to live in this loop peacefully. People
are just people regardless of religion, borders, and boundaries.
Let’s not raise our kids in boundaries. Negar
