Overview
These wall-based sculptures are indicative of the signature style that Farmanfarmaian has created with traditional Islamic glass mosaics, principles of Islamic geometry and her own contemporary sense of shape and composition.
Created out of thousands of deftly cut pieces of mirror and reverse-painted glass, Shazdeh’s Garden (01), (02) and (03) take their name from a historical Persian garden in Mahan, Iran. The works seek to capture the forms of nature in glass and to express the spirit of the garden itself.
