__________Hi Richard



_________thus it seems that it happened. DalĂ­ and its last workmanship inspired by the theory of the catastrophes


Excellent_____wonderful

That Tooba was inspired by the novel Women without Men by Iranian writer Shahrnoush Parsipour implies that it is the tree they are after. The Tooba tree is a symbolic and sacred image that originates in the Koran. Meaning tree of paradise, the Tooba offers shelter and blessings to those in need. Knowing this when seeing the installation provides a more literal experience of the video; the men and woman are seeking the benevolence of the tree.

much thankful by the visit
