Description
In painting ‘Izadi’, I wanted to invite viewers into a sacred space where the boundaries between life and death blur, offering a moment of connection and reflection. Through the contemplation of my own mortality when I was diagnosed with Cancer in 2014, I discovered a liberating sense of freedom and strength to embrace each day fresh with purpose and generosity. Rather than shying away from the inevitability of death, there is an acknowledgment that it is an integral part of existence. This acceptance fosters a rich and meaningful life, passionately driven by gratitude and grace. ‘Izadi’ means that we belong to a heavenly realm, and it serves as a doorway to a liminal place, inviting viewers to embrace life fully and traverse the threshold, finding solace in the harmonious interplay where life and death dissolve, and the essence of our shared humanity is illuminated in its most profound and tender essence.
