A timeless sanctuary inhabited by the Amlash characters— figures inspired by ancient sacred deities associated with luck, blessing, fertility, and rebirth. The work reveals the relationships within their world, unfolding as they continue their existence in a dreamlike parallel realm. The space is filled with carefully chosen signs drawn from ancient civilizations, each carrying intentional meaning. References to astrology, cosmic order, sacred symbols, and archetypal signs are woven throughout the composition, transforming the work into a contemplative environment where myth, memory, and positive energy quietly converge.

Pantea Mahrou is an Iranian contemporary artist whose practice explores fragmentation, memory, displacement, feminine experience and inherited political histories. Through layered material and spatial processes, her work examines visibility, erasure, silence and concealment, revealing how bodies, domestic spaces and emotional landscapes carry traces of trauma, migration, censorship and political transformation.
