Persian Reflection - 2021
Iran is ranked within the 10 oldest countries throughout the world with a rich culture and warm-blooded people. My home town, Shiraz, where the Persepolis is located in is one of the tourist attractions, not only within the country but in the middle east, and absorbs thousands of tourists annually. Pieces gathered in this collection reflect the dynamic culture, colorful lifestyle, authenticity, and nuances of Persian art. This art can be visibly seen in every spot of my ancient city from the hand-painted storytelling tiles in Persian architecture to the handwoven precious carpets. The Persian myriad celebrations, such as (Yalda) are our intangible cultural heritage and a reflection of Persian art.
