Layered View draws inspiration from windows, as architectural elements, and as references to frames of images and screens. It borrows from found photographs of windows from several Iranian historical architectural sites that include Orosi windows. In these hand-crafted window structures, small pieces of colored glass set within wooden frames filter sunlight into patterns of color. In this project, these patterns are partially and imprecisely traced, laser-cut into handmade paper from recycled shipping boxes, and transformed into white matte acrylic in contrast to their original colorful materiality. They are then covered with reeded acrylic sheets and framed in unfinished wood, with architectural forms guiding their structures.

These works embrace materials and process as references, creating a space for reflection on the complexities of the present, while forming an ode to homes shaped by mementos and memories carried across borders.
