Lot 36 – Niloufar Salimi “To my mother and grandmother: Azalea, Three Times”
Azalea, Three Times On the same branch, leaves still learning the light, petals already spent, and buds waiting with their mouths closed. What appears singular is quietly composed of many, holding its inheritance tenderly. To look closely is to feel this softness: one body carrying several lives, resting together, without needing to be resolved.
