The installation Fabled Sanctum in the BFA Thesis Show, 2017 - Parsons The New School of Design, is of an imaginary left-behind land that is now imbued with romanticized memory, heritage, and distorted remembrance. The installation includes a piece of limestone lying on the ground with a video projected on it, a sound piece being played out loud in the space, and a series of five stone tiles installed on the wall. In the exhibition, the stones become a container for the misshapen reflections upon the land, holding the sentiments of a mythical past. The roughness of the surface, the indefinable layers of minerals, and the machine excavation marks on the sides, create an imagery of a small-scale landscape — remembrance of a glorious past. By carving holes in the stones, space for interventions are created in the genealogy of history, of the earth and Zoroastrians. Forceful invasions happen through needlework, pulling on the ancient heritage of the makings of rugs and tapestries. Upon this setting, miniature animations are projected onto the limestone, precisely in sync with the shape of the stone. The accompanying 10 minute sound piece will reveal the journey of the Zoroastrian exile, metaphorically through the language of water. The stone tiles sitting on the wall next to the limestone mark location, time, and history onto the presented landscape.
