Kavoo (The Blue Dome)
"Kavoo" is an evocative art installation that draws inspiration from the rich cultural and mythological heritage of the Bakhtiari tribe, a nomadic group that has traversed the Zagros mountain range for over three millennia. The term "Kavoo," derived from the Bakhtiari dialect, translates to "the blue domes," symbolizing the sky. In Bakhtiari mythology, the sky is revered as a divine entity responsible for assigning destinies to individuals, reflecting the tribe's deep spiritual connection with nature and the cosmos.
This installation encapsulates the essence of traditional Persian architectural aesthetics, particularly the intricate ceiling patterns found in iconic structures like the Sheykh Lotfollah Mosque.

Through these patterns, the installation not only honors the architectural ingenuity of Persian culture but also explores the spiritual and existential themes of fate, destiny, and the celestial realm.
"Kavoo" invites viewers to reflect on the ancient and ongoing relationship between humanity and the heavens, encouraging contemplation of one's place within the universe. It is a celebration of cultural heritage, artistic craftsmanship, and the timeless quest for understanding our destiny under the ever-watchful blue domes of the sky.
