Shooting Stars (2025)Mixed-media painting by Marjan Fahimi

This work was born from the ambivalent and powerful image of war: during the twelve days of conflict between Iran and Israel, missiles streaked across the sky like shooting stars. This dramatic vision sparked a reflection transformed into painting: the contrast between destruction and beauty, between fear and hope.
Pink and turquoise hues blend into a suspended horizon, while dark streaks evoke the rapid, fleeting movement of celestial bodies or weapons streaking through the night. Small points of light become symbols of resilience, like fragments of light resisting the darkness.
With the use of resin, the colors acquire depth and brilliance, opening up an ambiguous space for the viewer, suspended between the cosmos and collective memory. Shooting Stars invites us to question the fragility of peace, the subtle boundary between catastrophe and poetry, and art's ability to transform trauma into contemplation.
