Disequilibrate presents an idealistic image of connection and system. The 18x18 feet handmade quilt comprises 7000 pieces of cloth meticulously arranged to form a singular shape: a circle within a square, gesturing towards the sun in the middle of galaxies. The handmade patchwork quilt features three primary colors and incorporates a blend of simple geometric patterns, arabesque forms, and images of iconic characters such as Mickey Mouse, Tom & Jerry, Angry Birds, and Spiderman. These fabrics were produced by local fabric factories in Iran and quilted in Yazd. Considering the varied number of patches, some colors are more abundant than others. This network of cloth pieces symbolizes our multiple identities in today’s cultural, social, and political landscape. Despite potential ideological differences, all these identities coexist and are challenged within the same world. London 2013 , Tehran 2017, Dubai 2023
