About this artwork
There are times you rupture your own wing with a dagger of ink, to fly free... The poem is by Hafez, in the Persian language which reads: "Thousand thanks that I see you again, true, happy, and fulfilled with your desires. And honest with your heart. The travelers of the creed, risk the path of calamities. The one who dares to love doesn't afraid of ebb and flow"...

About the artist
Negar is an Iranian-American artist and designer with a strong passion for visual and performing arts. For her, art is a medium to communicate whatever is going on in her bubble with the rest of the world. So in a way, Negar's artworks are the stories of a Middle Eastern immigrant woman residing in the US, trying to be resilient against life's crises. Depending on where she is standing and what she is trying to express, Negar has used a variety of mediums and techniques from watercolor and acrylic painting and photography to singing and dance installations. However, when looking back on decades of recreation of her visions, one would notice a strong theme in her works: A woman of a fire; and her never-ending battle to survive mental health struggles, immigration, social injustice challenges, and political pro-activation. Negar sees her art as a healing tool. Yet an epiphany for her was that the healing effects were not just impacting her alone as a creator, but her audiences who have connected with installations and artworks, as they have found themselves seen, validated, and expressed via mediums that are not as challenging as words. Negar truly believes that this connection alone with her audiences is one of the most fulfilling aspects of her art for her. IG: World_of_Negar
