Dear Teo (from 'Letters' series)

2010

A richly layered composition combining oil paint and pencil on canvas, *Dear Teo* draws from the intimate tradition of correspondence to explore themes of connection, longing, and unspoken dialogue. Razaghdoost's delicate interplay of mark-making and painterly gesture evokes the tactile, personal nature of a handwritten letter, blurring the boundary between image and text. Part of her broader *Letters* series, the work meditates on the vulnerability embedded in the act of reaching out to another.
