Since the earliest moments of human history, healing has been sought through the sacred—through gestures that reach beyond the visible world toward forces believed to restore balance where it has been broken. In ancient Persia, devotion was directed toward the gods themselves: prayers whispered to Anahita for renewing waters, offerings left for Haoma’s regenerative growth, vows sworn beneath Mithra’s radiant witness. These deities did not merely preside over nature; they were nature, their presence embedded in riverbeds, fire, wind, and the soil beneath supplicants’ knees.

Persian mythology presents a cosmology of elemental beings—divinities of wisdom, war, fertility, time, and flame—whose influence shaped the universe long before humanity understood itself as separate from the world it inhabited. They were not distant or symbolic figures, but restorative forces as fundamental as mountains rising, rivers carving valleys, and earth holding memory through time.

This collection bridges myth and material, reimagining the Persian pantheon through the lens of the Earth itself. Like the deities they evoke, the earth is ancient, patient, and transformative. Its exterior may appear solid and inert, but within lie hidden processes of formation, accumulation, and slow refinement—crystalline structures, layered strata, and veins of mineral that quietly store energy and light. Each work in this series serves as a vessel for a deity’s enduring essence: divine power crystallized in mineral and glass, luminous energy preserved within matter, waiting to be unearthed. To engage with these works is to witness the sacred in its slow, patient becoming.

Rendered as wall-mounted sculptures, these pieces employ fractured glass to build dense, prismatic surfaces. Light moves across broken planes, activating each form as a living presence rather than a fixed image. Mythology and material converge into sacred geometry, where fracture becomes structure and matter becomes a site of remembrance, restoration, and continuity.
