The third painting in the series “Between Roots and Horizons”, which parallels the stages of cell division with the stages of my migration journey.

This acrylic painting (40cm x 80cm) reflects anaphase, the moment in cell division when chromosomes are pulled apart and the process becomes irreversible. This represents the instant when migration is no longer abstract but lived and embodied. As Persian motifs fade into memory and their details soften, fragmented geometric forms drift away from them, reaching toward unknown horizons, with a future yet to be shaped. Identity stretches between past and future, belonging and departure, where the former life still glimmers and the next one has not yet solidified.
