Surface as Memory: Narrative Field

A large-scale site-specific intervention extending the “Surface as Memory” series across an architectural sequence, embedding multiple narrative fragments within a deteriorated urban structure.

  • Public Mural Project – Tehran Beautification Organization, Tehran, Iran, March 2021

Commissioned by the Municipality of Kerman, this project expands the series beyond Tehran, translating its core approach into a new urban context.

Spanning an extended architectural surface, the work is composed of multiple scenes derived from Persian miniature, distributed along the structure rather than concentrated in a single focal point.

Each fragment responds to the specific conditions of the wall—its openings, structural divisions, and areas of decay—creating a continuous yet non-linear visual narrative.

The composition unfolds across the surface like a sequence, allowing viewers to encounter the work gradually as they move through the space.

By extending the intervention across a larger scale and into a different city, the project reinforces the adaptability of the series—maintaining a consistent visual language while responding to new spatial and cultural contexts.
