Geometry of Memory: The Persian Garden Reimagined

A large-scale public mural that reinterprets the Persian garden through a contemporary visual language, merging miniature-based figuration with geometric abstraction to construct a layered spatial experience.

  • Public Mural Project – Tehran Beautification Organization, Tehran, Iran, December 2020

Commissioned through a private call by the Mural Department of the Tehran Beautification Organization, the project approaches the Persian garden as a spatial system rather than a representational image.

Traditionally defined by geometry, water, vegetation, and hierarchical organization, the garden is retranslated here into a hybrid visual structure. Elements derived from Persian miniature are fragmented and repositioned within a simplified geometric framework, creating a calibrated tension between narrative and abstraction.

Spanning multiple architectural surfaces, the composition extends into its surroundings, allowing the built environment to function as an active component of the work.

Through the deconstruction and reconfiguration of historical references, the mural engages with cultural memory as something not fixed, but continuously reinterpreted within contemporary public space.
