| DESIGN NAME: Solidarity PRIMARY FUNCTION: Ring INSPIRATION: This artwork is inspired by Woman, Life, Freedom movement to depict the powerful Iranian women during this movement. The inspiration from women who cleared and illuminated the path which started from Iran and continued across the entire world, the path of freedom. A series of interwoven bare wires are used that represent the tresses of the Iranian women, tresses which have been cut- akin to the mythological culture and tradition of Iran- to protest against the death of Mahsa Amini. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Solidarity is created to depict the powerful Iranian women during Woman, Life, Freedom movement. In this artwork, women are holding hands, standing around the Earth which is ornamented by different stones of different colors. And, this variety of colors represents the racial diversity across the world. At the heart of this planet, two birds- namely, the birds of freedom- have nested. A series of interwoven bare wires are used that represent the tresses of the Iranian women. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This work can be used in two ways. In its first form, the middle section of this artwork is seen as a full sphere. And, in its second form, it is a hemisphere in which two golden birds have nested. Moreover, the shank of this ring can hold shapes other than a sphere. If interested, the artist can design other forms to be placed upon the same shank. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in October 2022 and finished in February 2023 in Iran. |

To open and close the pieces, a form of bolt-and-nut technique has been used. As the upper part turns and the sphere fits in its place, the main form of the artwork is represented. Moreover, the shank of this ring can hold shapes other than a sphere. This work can be used in two forms of either a full sphere or a hemisphere with two golden birds. The materials of Silver, Bare Gold Wires, and Synthetic Gemstones are used. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Product Dimensions: 26 mm x 26 mm x 45 mm. Weight: 16.26 gram. Tools used: Basic goldsmithing tools (types of pliers, welding Smith, File, bow, milling, sanding, and to polishing, is also used from the engine machine and silver blackening solution). TAGS: Ring, Moazzen, Gold, Silver, Synthetic Stones RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Throughout the course of history, the role of women in Iranian and global Art and Mythology has been quite significant. The recent events in Iran as well as Woman, Life, Freedom movement are among such instances, being quickly able to lay the foundation for the creation of various works of arts all over the world. And, the same movement was what truly marked the beginning of Solidarity. One of the symbols of this movement was the way in which mournful women cut their own tresses; this is based upon Iranian mythology according to which Iranian women cut their hair as a sign of mourning a loss. CHALLENGE: Creating the sphere and working on the opening mechanism as well as the location of the birds were the most difficult part of the work.
