Mehran Mesbah. Earth Garden. 2016.
Mehran’s work is interested in the process of deformation. The effect certain forces have on physical forms over time. Natural formations such as mountains have been of particular inspiration. The result of millions of years of force enacted through tectonics and erosion creates the huge monoliths one sees today. Human societies have encountered similar forces that have endured through the millennia via the malleability of culture and its artifacts, language, and traditions. Mehran’s work exerts natural forces on timeless motifs of culture as a reflection on transience and the indefinite continued progression of space and time.
