Bahareh spent five years researching the spectacular, functional art of Persian carpets, which has roots in her culture and relate to her identity. Indeed, the world of Persian carpets is full of emotions, poems, stories, and mysteries about life, humanity and love. Bahareh’s project seeks to conserve the stories behind the art of Persian carpets, depict their connection to poetry and bring their real beauty to the viewer. Enclosed gardens are an important aspect of Persian life, often symbolizing a model of paradise, which is the inspiration for most carpet designs.

The most beautiful and famous Persian poems were also inspired by nature and the idea of paradise—the word “paradise” itself is derived from the ancient Persian word pairidaeza, meaning a walled garden.

By creating new images through a collaging technique that combines the photographs of the symbolic patterns of the carpets, she is not just cataloguing the designs; she is able to respond to them with her poems. She has written poems inspired by the stunning poems of Hafez to keep the language of the carpets alive.

Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as the destination, and where every moment is an opportunity to make your mark on the canvas of existence. The only limit is the extent of your imagination.
