All My Broken Pieces (2024) is an experimental installation consisting of broken and fused glass, together with a series of paintings, sculptures and a single-channel video work. A central component of this installation is the Golshan series--a collection of intricate gouache and ink paintings overlaid with fused glass. Reminiscent of a mandala, these miniature works blend sacred geometric motifs with abstract forms, evoking ancient medallions that symbolise transcendence through concentric circles. Made from discarded glass shards collected at the SCA glass workshop, Golshan incorporates swirling patterns and spotty bubbles formed directly in the furnace. The overlay of melted glass on the paintings introduces a dynamic interplay of concealment and revelation, creating unexpected and fragmented configurations that disrupt symmetry and visual order. This effect implicitly juxtaposes Eastern and Western cultural expressions, suggesting a cross-cultural dialogue.
Another component of this installation is a series of sculptures featuring asymmetrical, deformed glazed ceramic, and both coloured and clear glass pieces stacked on a metal support, allegorically signifying potential collapse. This seemingly unstable assemblage serves as a metaphor for fragility and instability, reflecting the complex, precarious experiences of a migrant navigating hybrid identities within a diasporic context.
