The artwork you see is titled “Bavan.”
In its literal meaning, Bavan refers to ancestors, lineage, or paternal roots.The composition of the piece is shaped like a mountain.
In Iranian culture, the mountain has always symbolized steadfastness and paternal strength — representing fathers who, throughout their lives, endure the harsh and merciless blows of life’s axes, yet continue to sprout anew and cast the gentle shade of their kindness over life.
