soon exhibition,Ready to Order B21 Gallery Dubai, 11.November.2008 My initial inspiration for this series was from the small boxes found in the holy birthplaces of Imams and the tombs of martyrs. The title of this collection refers to the magnificence and glory of day-to-day life. People in Iran are constantly being invited to commission lavish banquets for birthdays and weddings, memorials for lost loved ones and religious martyrs and so on. You can see ‘ready to order’ on banners at the entrance of common restaurants, hospitality halls of the city and in advertisements in daily newspapers. Instead of using religious men or martyrs, I used popular people; my mum and kids, the famous Pahlavan and pop stars. I wanted to pay tribute to them all.
