Farnoush A. Nik & Ava Jalali – Come-Bat
When you are born under an authoritarian system, you are born as two – One who is molded by the forces that seek to shape you, and another who is protecting and seeking safety for their birth-giver by following the orders.When you leave the life you have made behind and relocate, you live as two – One who remains where you belong, where your loved ones are, where you were born with all its complexities; and another who accompanies you to the place your physical form now resides.How many versions of ourselves have we become? How many “I”s have I given birth to? How many “I”s has my environment given birth to? How many of these “I”s make up the person that is me?
