We each experience the world through the prism of our upbringing, our traditions
and the familiar sights and sounds embedded deep within our soul. Only Sound Remains
is an installation in which I explore and share those experiences through objects, sounds
and video. Ceramic vessels inspired by the traditions of my ancestors hide and shape
sounds that narrate simple and complex experiences, which are the stories of my life.
The sounds relate to the world that I came from and that still can be heard now. The
sounds are not clear until one gets close to the vessels and lifts the lid-- a bazaar, praying,
marching, an explosion, a woman telling a story, traditional Iranian music. The
installation is a metaphor for the way in which we experience the world. The vessels
represent a selection of personal and cultural experiences through sounds that may or
may not be fully understood. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014.. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
