The Shape of what remains explores memory, distance, and the fragility of personal archives through printmaking, installation, and material experimentation. Working from family photographs and domestic imagery, I examine how memories shift and transform under the pressures of time, migration, war, and political uncertainty. The layered relief prints on translucent Tengucho paper create fragmented and ghostly images that reflect the instability of remembrance and the emotional experience of separation from home. Rooted in my experience as an Iranian woman living away from my family during periods of war and crisis in Iran, this collection considers the role of art as a space for mourning, attachment, and resistance against disappearance. Combining fragile prints, carved linoleum blocks, found objects, and domestic forms, the work investigates how individuals attempt to preserve intimacy and connection in the face of loss, distance, and erasure.
