“Today, the sky weighted the hue and scent of blackberries within. As my clothes blossomed into an unknown garden, and my earrings carried the light of the sea.”

“In my eyes, the feminine energy often neglected and lost in the pace of modern life — is intertwined with mother earth, and nature itself. Perhaps that is why, when I see someone nurturing the earth, I see them tending to the very essence of Mother Earth’s feminine spirit.

In this collection, titled “An Invitation to the Garden”, I encourage my audience into a world crafted from my own fantasy, a world deeply familiar to us in the cultural heart of Iran and the East.

It is as delicate as Saadi’s verse:

“The turmoil of nightingales occurs at dawn; the one who is asleep remains unaware of the morning.”

شورش بلبلان سحر باشد خفته از صبح بی خبر باشد

Or like the gentleness of the shades of blackberry trees in a hot summer. Do not forget me, not the flowers.”

Saba Zahedi, designer and painter from Iran.
