About the Item

In Evin Prison (2022), from her acclaimed Immortal Flower series, Soudeh Davoud (b. 1988) layers delicate beauty over scenes of historical and political weight. Executed in coloured pencil on cardboard, the work juxtaposes the soft bloom of flowers and pastel tones with the stark architecture of Evin Prison — a site deeply embedded in Iran’s collective consciousness. Through this poetic counterpoint, Davoud explores the tension between fragility and endurance, evanescence and memory. Blossoms emerge from concrete and confinement, suggesting both mourning and rebirth, as if nature itself insists on reclaiming spaces marked by human suffering. Davoud’s practice fuses realism with metaphor, weaving imagery from archival sources and collective memory to reframe Iran’s visual history through a distinctly feminine and reflective lens.
