"Fariba Boroufar, an artist whose works bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, uses the ancient art of weaving to explore and reinterpret the rich cultural and architectural history of Iran. Her artistic journey reflects a deep engagement with both the tangible and intangible aspects of her heritage, imbuing her textile works with a profound sense of cultural memory while addressing contemporary issues such as architectural degradation and the loss of identity. For Boroufar, being an artist means more than just the creation of objects; it is about offering new perspectives on reality. “Innovation means a new look into reality,” she explains. “The artist acts against daily life by examining the reality and changing it, forming a distinctly new world for the audience.” This process of transformation is central to her practice, where each artwork becomes a means of shifting how we perceive the world around us."
