Grounds For Standing and Understanding (2012)
Babak Golkar
The work unites the relationship between the two dimensional and three dimensional as well as architecture and art, with miniature structures shooting off the flat Persian carpet surface. The structures also question the frequent tension between Eastern and Western societies, with the Eastern nations constantly being influenced by the Western world, the erected buildings represent symbols of Western patriotism.

Persian Rug (2016)
Jason Seife
Jason Seife's work references old Persian carpets, an art form that in modern times is taken for granted. Jason recreates these old weavings by tediously painting them on canvas and other substrate in colors and mediums that were not normally used in their origin, presenting the pieces in a new and exciting way.

EXIT OF SHIRIN AND FARHAD (2012)
Babak Kazemi
Babak Kazemi revisits the story of Shirin and Farhad in order to comment on the contemporary struggle of lovers who must leave their homelands to find the freedom to love. The figure of King Khosrow also provides him with a potent symbol for the kind of emotional control and suppression that men and women still endure today. Ultimately, however, Kazemi’s message is that love can overcome even the most difficult situations.
