Artwork title : Faith

I’d like to submit my artwork, "Faith," for consideration in the upcoming exhibition. 

"Faith" is a meticulously crafted handmade art piece, designed to be displayed on the wall as a magnificent cross-cultural handicraft. It represents the culmination of my vision to seamlessly merge contemporary design with the intricate art of handweaving deeply rooted in the rich history and culture of Persia.

Faith is a collaborative art. The graphic of "Faith" took place in the realm of Digital Media, utilizing the technique of Photo Collage by Mr. Masaki Horokawa, a known Japanese artist, and its realization involved a transformative journey to a remote area in Iran, Persia, where I made this masterpiece . Together, we translated the digital concept into a fully handmade silk tableau, boasting an awe-inspiring design featuring an impressive 84 knots within every 7 centimeters. The culmination of this meticulous creation process resulted in an astonishing total of 909,000 knots in 75cm width in 86cm length,(900 knots in width and 1010 knots in length) woven over the course of almost a year, using the finest grade silk.

Beyond its intricate craftsmanship, "Faith" delves into the profound notion that a universal, boundless love and energy underpin all aspects of existence, transcending traditional judgments. It serves as a poignant reminder that the essence of divinity resides within each individual, emphasizing inherent value regardless of life's complexities and hardships.

"Faith" is not merely an art piece; it is a testament to the beauty that emerges when tradition meets innovation, and when love and creativity unite to craft something extraordinary. I believe it aligns seamlessly with the spirit of your exhibition, and I am excited about the prospect of sharing this creation with a wider audience.
