Rehydrate II

Refresh (Waterfall), 2007, 20” x 16”, gouache/Hahnemühle; water motif from Shãhnãmeh fragment, Tabrîz, 1370, Folio 65b, Tabrîz, Istanbul. Among the restorative elements in this series is water brought to a desiccated and decimated land.

Rehydrate I and II, 2008, 10” x 15”; water motif from illustration by Master Ahman Mûsâ in a Mi-râj-Nâmeh (“Book of the Mystical Ascension”), Tabrîz, second quarter of the 14th century, Topkapì Sarayì Museum Library, Istanbul. In Rehydrate I and II (2008), stylized waves from a 14th c. illustration for the Book of the Mystical Ascension lap impossibly at edges of craters in Lebanese roads bombed in 2006. Here, the transcendent merges with the mundane.
