Summary edit

Description
English: At time,

I cannot distinguish if it’s me going around the world or it’s the world going around me.

Like Hafez, I was on my way to being. Like Attar, I was on my way to Seeking. Like Rumi, I was on my path to finding the sea of seeds. To plant. To water. To will ten commands meant. To reach a certain seeing. Seeing not with my Genital, Libidinal eyes, But as one whom reaches a seeing of a gentiled eyeball. One God. One life. One face. I like to see them faith to faith. Like a Muslim. I a Gentile. Like a Jew. I am a luggage of languages. I am as free as “Bod Ah”. Filed with passionate, pregnant, painful, pomegranate formed pages. Like a Chilled child. Traveling. Going through every one of the cities, the Seven cities of Love. Love the essence God is made out of. Lord the image we were made in two. From our mother’s womb, we were all born through and through and through. Women whom Love us. Us.

For the last twenty-seven years I had to explain myself by the way of mouth, telling, telling, I am a pomegranate not a grenade. I am a language. Not a tongue. I am a telling. Not a terrorist. I am a Language of my time. A ticking religion. A Neugier meaning someone nosy in German language. That I am a new. Not a nude. A review. Not a view.

INSTALATION DESCRIPTION

A wide angle slide projector projects an image of Islamic architectural space throughout the floor and the center wall of the galley space. Seven constructed female forms, all constructed with construction material are placed in a circular motion near the projected wall. Each constructed form gradually evolves in order to complete the seventh structure. Six of the forms convey a unique part of a whole. As the seventh sculpture becomes complete as a woman wearing a Chadoor (A Veil in Farsi) and she is filled with cut into half onions. As the onions become an abundance of nourishing breasts. The strong smell of onions and its pungent aroma prevails. A looped audio is placed inside of the seventh concealed constructed form continuously whispering. Audio Text:

Me my material. Me and the architecture of my choice. This is my layout.

This is the politics of erect landscapes. The forced submission to erect structures. Constructions. Erect architecture. Erect languages. This is my surrounding structure.

This is the structure of my constructed form. This is the remains of my veins. This irresistible form.

Language, my chamber. Language, my charm. Language,, the shape of my wantings, My thoughts.

Language, this integral part of me. This effective layer. This permanent complexity.

Your language. My veil. Your whiteness, your redness. My yellowness, My olive tone.
