Circle of Life

Circle of Life is a reference to life and its dilemas. What we do to each other in the name of justice. In other words to magnify and crucify in human name or frame.  The umbilical cord of life keeps you suspended with all the confusions your mind has created for you.

The use of knots here is a reference to the customary act in Iran when visiting holy shrines. The pilgrim ties a piece of rag to the shrine whilst saying a prayer. The knot is an impasse or a dead end.

The white fabric string is also a reference to the burial shroud used in Islamic religion to wrap and bury the dead body.
