Having spent all of her life in major cities whether in Iran or Portugal, Abolhassani’s experience of living in the small village of Lybster in Scotland for forty days, surrounded by raw nature and far removed from urban prosperity, sharply altered her perception of lived contractual reality. Abolhassani had long followed socio-political news closely, a focus that deeply shaped her work. Her experience in Lybster, however, shifted this attention, revealing a world that extends beyond the accumulation of political maneuvers and constructed conflicts of war through which we often frame reality. This exhibition becomes an attempt to create a shared experience with an Iranian audience amid the country’s ongoing tensions, grounded in common roots and the possibility of mutual recognition across differing lived realities.
