War on Peace, Peace on War
2016
"War on Peace, Peace on War" by Farhad Ahrarnia is a hand embroidered work on canvas that explores the paradoxical relationship between conflict and harmony through textile art. The artist employs the meditative and labor intensive technique of hand embroidery to create visual and conceptual commentary on the inversion or simultaneity of these opposing states. Through this choice of medium, Ahrarnia transforms a traditionally domestic craft into a vehicle for contemplating complex geopolitical and philosophical themes.
