Farzaneh Najafi / Iran - "Anahita the Goddess of Water" installation | Gabrovtsi, Bulgaria 2022

Farzaneh Najafi / Iran "Anahita the Goddess of Water" "Anahita is a deity known in early Iranian mythology as the father/mother of ‘the Waters’, as well as the goddess and symbol of water and fertility and has always been praised by Iranians. In Iranian traditions, water has always been sacred, so polluting it would cause resentment and even anger of the gods. In line with this belief, the artist has made clay goddesses adapted from the form of sculpture of Anahita in different eras. By placing Anahita sculptures in the path of the sea waves with the aim of being destroyed and washed up, the artist has been following the process of returning Anahita to nature and its union with water. With the intensity of each wave, parts of the sculptures are destroyed and become closer to nature. Regarding the interior AV installation, the artist tends to recreate ancient Iranian culture adopting a modern approach."
