We, the inhabitants of this restless and demanding corner of the Earth, are the inheritors of affliction. However, our appearance may shift between light and dark, but the pain remains constant. It travels across communities and is carried from one generation to the next. We are all bound\u2014by kinship and by suffering. The telling of one person\u2019s pain awakens the memory of another\u2019s. Pain itself becomes our shared covenant, just as the parrots in the tale of Rumi\u2019s master, upon recounting their companion\u2019s affliction, became afflicted themselves.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1552\">The present collection is a narrative of grief\u2014a testament to the constriction and anguish that, in recent years, has become a collective experience. It transcends the corporeal and takes on an archetypal form. Giti Norouzian\u2019s parrots have been depicted and reimagined again and again. With each iteration, they have become more distilled, more refined, more luminous\u2014until all that remains is the crimson of their shared suffering and the interwoven nature of their fate. In the hope that the knot might one day be undone, and these painted reds, these woven fates, may finally be released.<\/p>\n<p><em>Foad Najmedin<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2813,"template":"","class_list":["post-2268","fw-portfolio","type-fw-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fw-portfolio-category-painting"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gitinorouzian.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fw-portfolio\/2268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gitinorouzian.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fw-portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gitinorouzian.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fw-portfolio"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.gitinorouzian.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fw-portfolio\/2268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2945,"href":"https:\/\/www.gitinorouzian.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fw-portfolio\/2268\/revisions\/2945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gitinorouzian.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gitinorouzian.com\/fa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
