Fabric of Sorrow

for cello, clarinet, flute, fixed media and experimental animation

fabric of sorrow.mouth sweat engine bodies for cello, clarinet, flute, fixed media and experimental animation is a fantasy inspired by the current revolution in Iran. It begins inside an architecture made of skin and flesh. Standing upright from people’s pain and sacrifice, the architecture is a perpetual machine that turns the pain into ethereal spaces.

At its core, sit the grieving mothers weaving a fabric of light that feeds the building. This fabric begins with a strand of hair that runs through the building, becomes the mother’s umbilical cord and strengthens the bodies through the narrow alleys. Dedicated to those who have lost their lives in the ongoing Iranian revolution
