Ebtekar’s exhibition is presented as “one work in seven chapters”, each composed of one to four doorway-sized panels that combine multi-wavelength photographic processes with the artist’s distinctive cloud-making brushstrokes. Inspired by Farid ud-Din Attar’s Sufi poem Conference of the Birds, Ebtekar’s series follows the journeys of 30 birds through seven valleys of enlightenment: Quest, Love, Knowledge, Detachment, Unity, Wonderment, Poverty, and Annihilation. Says the gallery: “As spectators confront these larger-than-life prints, they find themselves immersed in a landscape where the atmosphere itself becomes the canvas of the cosmos, blurring the boundaries between observer and the observed”.<\/p>\n
