Untitled 1987

Behjat Sadr's 1987 untitled work is a mixed-media piece depicting a view through a doorway onto a beach scene. The composition is framed by a black and white textured background that appears to be made of wood planks, suggesting a physical barrier. Through this barrier, a window reveals a distant shoreline, the horizon, and a sky filled with birds. This contrast between the harsh texture of the frame and the soft tones of the beach scene evokes a sense of longing and isolation. Sadr's work often explores themes of memory, dreams, and the passage of time, and this piece exemplifies her unique approach to visual storytelling.
