About Aine-Kari an ancient persian art

From the Venetian monopoly to the war and peace rooms of the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, from royal salons to whispered treaties that ended empires—mirrors have seen it all.
Born in one country, growing with reflections in other parts of the world, she brings the art of mirrors from her ancient land
where mirrors are not mere ornaments,
but sacred vessels of light and soul.
Mirrors are alive in her work inviting the viewer to become both witness and witnessed—
subject and object of the art, seen and seeing of a narrative.
She follows no trend, intuition her compass, memory is her medium.And her greatest inspiration is the universe itself—
expansive, radiant, and full of reflection.

«سایه یک بازتاب است»
شهریور ۱۴۰۴
در این مجموعه، شهرزادیان با ترکیب آینه، نقاشی، و حجم، فضایی خلق میکند که مخاطب را به بازنگری در تجربه ی دیدن و بودن دعوت میکند.
آینه در آثار او تنها سطحی برای بازتاب نیست، بلکه بستریست برای مواجهه با آنچه پنهان است—لایه هایی از خود، از رابطه، و از خاطره.
ترکیب عناصر بازتابی با فرمهای نقاشیشده و مجسمه وار، نوعی گفتوگوی بیکلام میان نور و سایه میسازد
گفت وگویی دربارهی آنچه گفته نشده، احساساتی که نادیده مانده اند، و خاطراتی که تنها در سکوت قابل لمساند.
در جهان شهرزادیان، سایه نه صرفاً غیبت نور، بلکه حافظهای زنده است—بازتابی دیگرگونه از لحظهی اکنون.
متن زیر، جهان مفهومی و شاعرانهی هنرمند را روایت میکند:
سایه، بازتاب است جایی که نور نیست
نور به آن نمیرسد
بدن مقابلش ایستاده
نقطهای که نه شروع است نه پایان
تنها نقطه ای ست که اکنون در آن ایستادی
میان گذشته و آینده
سایه از همین نقطه شکل میگیرد—
جایی که هزاران قصه ناپیداست، چون آنجا نور نیست
هزاران صورت
کالبد های فراوان
و روایت
احساساتی گفته و ناگفت
نور که می آید، بازتاب می آید
قصه ها نمایان می شوند
خودها دیده میشوند
و این دیده شدن ، مشاهده می شود
تا
کالبدها در آغوش هم گم میشوند
سایه ها یکی شوند
در این یکی شدنِ سایه ها
سایه دربرگیرنده میشود—
در برگیرنده ی «او»، «من»، و «تو» جایی که «دوها» تلاقی میکنند
سایه تلاقی می کند،
یکی می شود
حال آنکه بازتاب همچنان دو تا ایستادهدر تاریکی سایه ها
سایه ی خود در دیگری گم می شود
تاریکی اش تاریکتر میشود
و گاه ترسناک
و ترس، کلید فراموشی
فراموشی میکنیم که سایه، همان بازتاب است
ناراحت می شویم
هُل میدهیم
جدا میشویم
...
سایه ها جدا میشوند
بازتاب ها جدا میشوند
نقطه ی تلاقی سایه و بازتاب من
و نقطه ی تلاقی سایه و بازتاب تو
از هم دور میشوند.
و باز، پیدا می شود—
سایه، بازتاب است جایی که نور نیست
بازتاب زنده است
با بدن حرکت میکند
بازتاب، وقایع اکنون را روایت میکند—
همان لحظهای که در آن ایستادهای
بازتاب، همان سایه است—
اما جایی که نور حضور دارد
و تو، نقطهی تلاقی ای
میان سایه و بازتاب،
میان دیدهنشده و نمایانشده
بازتاب، روایتگرِ هر آن چیزیست
که سایه مخفی نکرده
آنجا که سایه ها یمان تلاقی میکنند
آنجا که تاریکی فراگیر میشود
سکوتی آرام در جریان میافتد
درست مثل جعبه ای سیاه
به رنگ شب
در بیابانی اصیل
آنجا که دو نفر بازتاب تاریک یکدیگر را در آغوش میکشند
عشق شکوهی الهی می شود
انگار آنجا، جاییست
که سایه ای هم دامنه از خود
بازتابی فراگیر از همهی هستی
و نقطه ی تلاقی اینها
یکی می شوند
آنجا، هم را پیدا میکنیم—
بینیاز از روایتِ تصویر
آنجا، «او» را پیدا میکنیم—
بدون وسواسِ بازتابِ نور
آنجا، در تاریکترینِ تاریکیها
نورِ نامتناهی را پیدا میکنیم
سایه، بازتاب است جایی که نور نیست—
بازتابی ژرف
پر از تمام انچه
که در واژه نمیگنجند
و تنها زمانی دیده میشوند
که اجازه بدهیم
سایههایمان تلاقی کنند
این مجموعه بخشی از جستوجوی پیوسته ی شهرزادیان برای یافتن مرزهای میان خویشتن، دیگران، و هستیست —از خلال بازتاب، سکوت، و سایه

Sharzadian – “Shadow is a Reflection”
September 2025
In this series, Sharzadian combines mirrors, painting, and sculptural forms to create spaces that invite the viewer to re-examine the experience of seeing and being seen.The mirror in her work is not merely a surface of reflection, but a threshold—an encounter with what is hidden: layers of self, of relationship, of memory.Through the interplay of reflective surfaces with painted and sculptural forms, a silent dialogue between light and shadow emerges—
A dialogue about what remains unsaid, the emotions unseen, and the memories only accessible in silence.
In Sharzadian’s world, shadow is not simply the absence of light,
but a living memory—
a different kind of reflection of the present moment.
The following text, written by the artist, offers a glimpse into the conceptual and poetic world behind the work:Shadow is a reflection—where light is not.
Light has no access
Form stands in the way
It is not a beginning, nor an end—but the point in which you now stand, between the past and the future.
The point that defines the shadow— A place where thousands of stories unseen
because light has no access
Thousands of faces
figures
narratives
The spoken and the unspoken
When light is allowed, reflection shows up
Stories revealed
Selves appear
And this seeing,
is seen
Opening the bodies to receive each other
shadows blur
and become one.
In the merging,
shadow becomes a container—
One that holds “them,” “me,” and “you.”
Where two merge,
the shadows meet,
and become one
Yet the reflections stand—apart
In the darkness of shadows
one lost in the other
The darkness deepens,
At times frightening.
Fear the key to forgetfulness,
One dis-members that shadow is reflection
Grief births anger
We push
We burst
We separate
Shadows separated
Reflections separated
The meeting point of my shadow and reflection
and the meeting point of yours—
grow apart
One more time truth dances openly:
Shadow is a reflection where light is not.
Reflection is alive
Moves with the figure
Narrates the events of now—
this very moment you stand in
Reflection is shadow—
where light is present
You
are the meeting point—
between the unseen and the revealed
Reflection voices everything
shadow never concealed
Where shadows meet
darkness becomes encompassing,
a calm silence begins to flow—
like a black box,
the color of night in a raw desert
There—
two embrace the darkness,
the uncertainty of sharing a blurr
love becomes divine,
holding a shadow as vast as the self,
a reflection of all existence,
and the point where they meet—
become one.
There,
we find each other—
without the need for an image or a narrative.
There,
we find them—
without the obsession for shinning the light.
There,
in the darkest of darks,
we find the infinite light
Shadow is a reflection where light is not—
a deep darkness
filled with all that
cannot be held in words
And only revealed
when shadows are allowed
to meet.
.
This series is part of Sharzadian’s ongoing search for the thresholds between self, other, and existence—through reflection, silence, and shadow.
