A Solo Exhibition By Keynaz Goodarzi
My work explores the complexities of identity, resilience, and transformation, particularly through the lens of women’s struggles and strength. Organic shapes, intertwined structures, and dynamic compositions reflect the challenging yet continuous journey of self-discovery. Nature in my practice is not merely a source of inspiration but a metaphor for endurance and adaptability—just as women take root, resist, and bloom again in the face of personal and societal challenges.
This connection between women and nature leads me into the realm of imagination, where the boundaries between reality and the impossible dissolve. Within this world, joy and sorrow flow side by side—sometimes in contrast, sometimes in harmony. Through these experiences, I have come to see that human beings and the world are ultimately one; our emotions, whether grief or delight, manifest in the faces, gestures, and postures of the human form, revealing a shared truth.
Despite these contrasts, I perceive the world as inherently colorful, vibrant, and alive. If we choose to look closely, we discover that hope runs through its veins. This is why color in my work is always vivid and powerful—not merely a tool for expression, but the very essence of life itself: dynamic, radiant, and unending.
