Abstract

I Will Be There, Mom captures an intimate moment steeped in tradition and connection. The scene is set against a lush backdrop of green leaves, nourished by a watering can, with water droplets glistening on the foliage. In the foreground, two hands—a mother’s and her daughter’s—rest gracefully on a lace-covered table, both adorned with matching bracelets, symbolizing their unbreakable bond. A traditional Iranian tea set completes the scene, evoking warmth, heritage, and shared rituals. The layered silk screen technique brings depth to the composition, intertwining themes of care, nurture, and cultural identity. This piece celebrates the timeless connection between generations, highlighting the delicate balance of nature, tradition, and human relationships in a shared moment of togetherness.
