Bleeding Homeland

I used a kitchen grater because it suggests slow damage, not a single clean blow. On its surface, the outline of Iran opens like a wound, and blood runs down the metal onto the ground. In the background, the cracked mark of a bullet turns the whole space into a scene of threat. I made this work in response to the killing of protesters in Iran, and to the pain of watching a homeland treated as something disposable. Hannah Arendt wrote that violence appears where genuine political power has failed. That idea stayed with me here. I wanted the grater, the blood, and the broken wall to show what happens when a state stops listening and begins tearing into its own people.
