Lot Essay

“While the world is in a big lockdown, these playscapes inside the boxes have extra layers for me. The way that light shines down on these slides, reflects from one slide to another and to the wall, I see, within them, the beauty of the great Iranian poet Rumi… I see some of my slides as they are dancing and twirling just like a Sufi celebrates life with their special dance called Sama but in the form of a twirling statue of a spiral slide.” – MEHDI GHADYANLOO
