Upside Down: Morteza Khazaie

Morteza Khazaie draws inspiration from trees that bend under the force of wind and storms yet do not break, symbolizing strength and flexibility in the face of adversity. The curved forms of trees serve as powerful metaphors for human resilience, growth, and adaptation against life’s challenges.

Crafted primarily from wood, a living material that carries the essence of time and history, the works exude a sense of life and dynamism. The organic nature of the material strengthens the connection between humanity and the natural world, evoking deep reflections on endurance and transformation.

Through this collection, the artist weaves together personal, social, and environmental narratives, offering a poignant meditation on change and the strength found within it.
