About the Item
In The Symbol (2022), Soudeh Davoud transforms an image of mourning into one of resilience and remembrance. Against a vivid crimson background, a bouquet of white blooms — interwoven with a single lock of hair — becomes a quiet emblem of sacrifice. The artist’s delicate use of coloured pencil infuses the scene with both tenderness and gravity, evoking the cost of resistance and the enduring strength of those who stand against oppression.
Part of the Immortal Flowers series, this composition merges beauty with testimony. The juxtaposition of fragility and power reflects Davoud’s ongoing exploration of collective memory, where each gesture of drawing becomes a tribute to lives transformed into symbols of courage and hope.
